Major mergers between dark matter haloes -- II. Profile and concentration changes

Nicole E. Drakos, James E. Taylor, Anael Berrouet +2

Several lines of evidence suggest that as dark matter haloes grow their scale radius increases, and that the density in their central region drops. Major mergers seem an obvious me…

Major mergers between dark matter haloes -- I. Predictions for size, shape, and spin

Nicole E. Drakos, James E. Taylor, Anael Berrouet +2

The structural properties of individual dark matter haloes, including shape, spin, concentration, and substructure, are linked to the halo's growth history, but the exact connectio…
