A look to the inside of haloes: a characterisation of the halo shape as a function of overdensity in the Planck cosmology

Giulia Despali, Carlo Giocoli, Mario Bonamigo +2

In this paper we study the triaxial properties of dark matter haloes of a wide range of masses extracted from a set of cosmological N-body simulations. We measure the shape at diff…

The universality of the virial halo mass function and models for non-universality of other halo definitions

Giulia Despali, Carlo Giocoli, Raul E. Angulo +4

The abundance of galaxy clusters can constrain both the geometry and growth of structure in our Universe. However, this probe could be significantly complicated by recent claims of…

Cosmology through arc statistics I: sensitivity to and

Michele Boldrin, Carlo Giocoli, Massimo Meneghetti +3

The next generation of large sky photometric surveys will finally be able to use arc statistics as a cosmological probe. Here we present the first of a series of papers on this top…

Constraining the distribution of dark matter in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with stellar tidal streams

Raphaël Errani, Jorge Peñarrubia, Giuseppe Tormen

We use high-resolution N-body simulations to follow the formation and evolution of tidal streams associated to dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). The dSph models are embedded in da…

Dynamics of stellar black holes in young star clusters with different metallicities - II. Black hole-black hole binaries

Brunetto Marco Ziosi, Michela Mapelli, Marica Branchesi +1

In this paper, we study the formation and dynamical evolution of black hole-black hole (BH-BH) binaries in young star clusters (YSCs), by means of N-body simulations. The simulatio…

Some like it triaxial: the universality of dark matter halo shapes and their evolution along the cosmic time

Giulia Despali, Carlo Giocoli, Giuseppe Tormen

We present a detailed analysis of dark matter halo shapes, studying how the distributions of ellipticity, prolateness and axial ratios evolve as a function of time and mass. With t…
