On the Mass Profile of Galaxy Cluster CL 0024+1654 Inferred from Strong Lensing
Paul R. Shapiro, Ilian T. Iliev
Observations of a flat density profile in the cores of dark-matter-dominated halos on the two extremes of mass for virialized objects in the universe, dwarf galaxies and galaxy clu…
On the Origin of the Rotation Curves of Dark-Matter-Dominated Galaxies
Ilian T. Iliev, Paul R. Shapiro
Rotation curves of dark-matter-dominated galaxies measure the mass profiles of galactic halos and thereby test theories of their cosmological origin. While attention has focused la…
Explosions During Galaxy Formation
Hugo Martel, Paul R. Shapiro
As an idealized model of the effects of energy release by supernovae during galaxy formation, we consider an explosion at the center of a halo which forms at the intersection of fi…
The Effect of Gasdynamics on the Structure of Dark Matter Halos
Marcelo Alvarez, Paul R. Shapiro, Hugo Martel
Adaptive SPH and N-body simulations were carried out to study the effect of gasdynamics on the structure of dark matter halos that result from the gravitational instability and fra…
The Equilibrium Structure of Cosmological Halos: Dwarf Galaxies to X-ray Clusters
Ilian T. Iliev, Paul R. Shapiro
An analytical model for the postcollapse equilibrium structure of virialized objects which condense out of the cosmological background universe is described and compared with obser…
Reionization of the Universe by Starlight and the Photoevaporation of Cosmological Minihalos
Paul R. Shapiro, Alejandro C. Raga
The first sources of ionizing radiation to condense out of the dark and neutral IGM sent ionization fronts sweeping outward through their surroundings, overtaking other condensed o…
