Structural properties of Dark Matter Halos

چکیده
Using the results of a high mass resolution (256 particles) N-body simulation of a cluster-forming region, we study the statistic σv− M for low mass halos (M < 1012M⊙), and we compare it with three theoretical models. At the final redshift halos are well described by the Truncated Isothermal Sphere model recently introduced by Shapiro, Iliev & Raga (1999). We speculate that this is a consequence of the action of tidal fields on galaxy formation within clusters.

The Accretion-Driven Structure and Kinematics of Relaxed Dark Halos
It has recently been shown that relaxed spherically symmetric dark matter halos develop from the inside out, by permanently adapting their inner structure to the boundary conditions imposed by the current accretion rate. Such a growth allows one to infer the typical density profiles of halos. Here we follow the same approach to infer the typical spherically averaged profiles of the main structu...
متن کاملMeasuring the Distribution of Galaxies Between Halos
We develop a method to measure the probability, P (N ;M), of finding N galaxies in a dark-matter halo of mass M from the theoretically determined clustering properties of dark-matter halos and the observationally measured clustering properties of galaxies. Knowledge of this function and the distribution of the dark matter completely specifies all clustering properties of galaxies on scales larg...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Dark Matter in Spirals
In the past years a wealth of observations allowed to unravel the structural properties of the Dark Matter Halos around spirals. First, their rotation curves follow an Universal profile (URC) that can be described in terms of an exponential thin stellar disk and a dark halo with a constant density core, whose relative importance increases with galaxy luminosity. Careful studies of individual ob...
متن کاملNeutral Hydrogen and the Missing Satellites of the Local Group
We present a comparison of the leftover satellites at z=0 in a cold dark matter dominated simulation of the formation of the Local Group to the distribution of observed neutral hydrogen high-velocity clouds and compact high-velocity clouds. The ∼2000 leftover satellites in the simulation have dark matter masses which range between 0.5 to 10 × 10 9 M ⊙ , sizes between 3 to 30 kpc, and distances ...
متن کاملDark Halos around Spirals; no role for collisionless Cold Dark Matter particles
From the analysis of high–quality optical rotation curves of 9 low–luminosity disk galaxies, we find that the properties of the dark halos around these objects are inconsistent with the halo density profile of the halos emerging in high resolution Cold Dark Matter N-body simulations. Dark halos around galaxies are almost constant density spheres, very different from the characteristic CDM ρ(r) ...
