I review current efforts to measure the mean density of dark matter near the Sun. This
encodes valuable dynamical information about our Galaxy and is also of great importance …

Formation of galaxy clusters corresponds to the collapse of the largest gravitationally bound
overdensities in the initial density field and is accompanied by the most energetic …

We present the redshift evolution of the galaxy effective radius re obtained from the Hubble
Space Telescope (HST) samples of∼ 190,000 galaxies at z= 0–10. Our HST samples …

High resolution N-body simulations show that the density profiles of dark matter halos
formed in the standard CDM cosmogony can be fit accurately by scaling a simple “universal” …

We use high-resolution N-body simulations to study the equilibrium density profiles of dark
matter halos in hierarchically clustering universes. We find that all such profiles have the …

We describe a new method (compaso) for identifying groups of particles in cosmological N-
body simulations. compaso builds upon existing spherical overdensity (SO) algorithms by …

The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the interface between astronomy,
particle physics, and cosmology. Covering diverse topics from these disciplines, all of which …

We have performed the largest ever particle simulation of a Milky Way sized dark matter
halo, and present the most comprehensive convergence study for an individual dark matter …

We study the population of galactic discs expected in current hierarchical clustering models
for structure formation. A rotationally supported disc with exponential surface density profile …
