Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of galaxies and large-scale structure with cold dark matter

TL;DR: The cold dark matter hypothesis as mentioned in this paper suggests that the dark matter that appears to be gravitationally dominant on all scales larger than galactic cores may consist of axions, stable photinos, or other collisionless particles whose velocity dispersion in the early Universe is so small that fluctuations of galactic size or larger are not damped by free streaming.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concentrations of Dark Halos from Their Assembly Histories

TL;DR: In this article, the relation between the density profiles of dark matter halos and their mass assembly histories was studied using a statistical sample of halos in a high-resolution N-body simulation of the ΛCDM cosmology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Semi-analytic modelling of galaxy formation: The local Universe

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate several different recipes for star formation and supernova feedback, including choices that are similar to the treatment in Kauffmann, White & Guiderdoni (1993) and Cole et al. (1994) as well as some new recipes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dark matter halos in the standard cosmological model: results from the bolshoi simulation

TL;DR: In this article, the Bolshoi dissipationless cosmological?CDM simulation was used to find the circular velocities of satellites before they fall into their host halos using merger trees derived from analysis of 180 stored time steps.
