Due to gravitational instability, the DM collapses hierarchically into DM halos. In this contribution we present a study of the formation and evolution of such DM halos in a COBE-normalized spatially flat LCDM model (Omega_0=1-Omega_L=0.3; h=0.7) using high-resolution N-body simulations. The novelty of this study is use of the newly developed halo-finding algorithms to study the evolution of both isolated and satellite (located inside virial radii of larger group- and cluster-size systems) halos. The force and mass resolution required for a simulated halo to survive in the high-density environments typical of groups and clusters is high: ~1-3 kpc and ~10^9 M_sun, respectively. We use the high-resolution Adaptive Refinement Tree (ART) N-body code to follow the evolution of 256^3 dark matter particles with dynamic range in spatial resolution of 32,000 in a box of 60/h Mpc. We show that the correlation function of these halos is anti-biased with respect to the dark matter correlation function and is high and steeper than the correlation function of the isolated virialized objects. The correlation function evolves only mildly between z=3 and z=1. The mass evolution of isolated virialized objects determined from the simulation is in good agreement with prediction of semi-analytical models. The differences exist, however, if we include satellite halos in the halo catalogs. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9810191 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
