Secular evolution and the formation of pseudobulges in disk galaxies
▪ Abstract The Universe is in transition. At early times, galactic evolution was dominated by
hierarchical clustering and merging, processes that are violent and rapid. In the far future …

In the beginning: the first sources of light and the reionization of the universe
The formation of the first stars and quasars marks the transformation of the universe from its
smooth initial state to its clumpy current state. In popular cosmological models, the first …

The structure of cold dark matter halos
JF Navarro - Symposium-international astronomical union, 1996 - cambridge.org
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” …

A universal density profile from hierarchical clustering
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 …

The formation of galactic discs
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 …

The Aquarius Project: the subhaloes of galactic haloes
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 …

Profiles of dark haloes: evolution, scatter and environment
We study dark matter halo density profiles in a high-resolution N-body simulation of a ΛCDM
cosmology. Our statistical sample contains∼ 5000 haloes in the range 1011− 1014 h− 1 …

Hierarchical galaxy formation
We describe the GALFORM semi-analytic model for calculating the formation and evolution
of galaxies in hierarchical clustering cosmologies. It improves upon, and extends, the earlier …

GADGET: a code for collisionless and gasdynamical cosmological simulations
We describe the newly written code GADGET which is suitable both for cosmological
simulations of structure formation and for the simulation of interacting galaxies. GADGET …
