Numerical Simulations in Cosmology III: Dark Matter Halos

AbstractProperties of dark matter halos are reviewed. Taken from different publications, we present results on (1) the mass and velocity functions, (2) density and velocity profiles, and (3) concentration of halos. In the range of radii r=(0.005-1)rvir the density profile for a quiet isolated halo is very accurately approximated by a fit suggested by Moore etal (1997): rho=1/x^1.5(1+x^1.5), where x=r/rs and rs is a characteristic radius. The fit suggested by Navarro et al (1995) rho= 1/x(1+x)^2, also gives a very satisfactory approximation with relative errors of about 10% for radii not smaller than 1% of the virial radius. The mass function of z=0 halos with mass below 10^{13}Msun/h is approximated by a power law with slope alpha =-1.85. The slope increases with the redshift. The velocity function of halos with Vmax< 500km/s is also a power law with the slope beta= -3.8-4. The power-law extends to halos at least down to 10km/s. It is also valid for halos inside larger virialized halos. The concentration of halos depends on mass (more massive halos are less concentrated) and environment, with isolated halos being less concentrated than halos of the same mass inside clusters. Halos have intrinsic scatter of concentration: at 1sigma level halos with the same mass have Delta(log{c_vir})=0.18 or, equivalently, DeltaVmax/Vmax =0.12. Velocity anisotropy for both subhalos and the dark matter is approximated by beta(r) =0.15+2x/[x^2+4], where x is radius in units of the virial radius.
