Simulations of the Local Universe
Stefan Gottloeber, Anatoly Klypin, Andrey Kravtsov +2
The theory of structure formation predicts that galaxies form within extended massive dark matter halos built from smaller pieces that collided and merged, resulting in the hierarc…
Concentrations and Assembly Histories of Dark Matter Halos
Risa H. Wechsler, James S. Bullock, J. R. Primack +2
We study the relation between the density profiles of dark matter halos and their mass assembly histories, using a statistical sample of halos in a high-resolution N-body simulatio…
Spin Profile of Galactic Halos and Disk Formation
A. Dekel, J. S. Bullock, C. Porciani +4
We summarize recent developments in the study of the origin of halo spin profiles and preliminary implications on disk formation. The specific angular-momentum distributions within…
Origin and Destiny of Dark Matter Halos: Cosmological Matter Exchange and Metal Enrichment
Tsafrir S. Kolatt, James S. Bullock, Avishai Dekel +4
[Abridged] We analyze the exchange of dark matter between halos, subhalos, and their environments in a high-resolution cosmological N-body simulation of a Lambda CDM cosmology. At…
Interaction rates of dark-matter halos and subhalos
Tsafrir S. Kolatt, James S. Bullock, Yair Sigad +4
[Abridged] The interaction rates of dark-matter halos and subhalos, are computed using high-resolution cosmological N-body simulations of the Lambda-CDM model. Although the number…
Velocity and Mass Functions of Galactic Halos: Evolution and Environmental Dependence
Yair Sigad, Tsafrir S. Kolatt, James S. Bullock +4
We study the distribution functions of mass and circular velocity for dark matter halos in N-body simulations of the CDM cosmology, addressing redshift and environmental depende…
