The vertical structure of gaseous galaxy discs in cold dark matter haloes (2017)
Journal Article
Benítez-Llambay, A., Navarro, J. F., Frenk, C. S., & Ludlow, A. D. (2018). The vertical structure of gaseous galaxy discs in cold dark matter haloes. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 473(1), 1019-1037. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2420

We study the vertical structure of polytropic centrifugally supported gaseous discs embedded in cold dark matter (CDM) haloes. At fixed radius, R, the shape of the vertical density profile depends weakly on whether the disc is self-gravitating (SG) o...

Earth-mass haloes and the emergence of NFW density profiles (2017)
Journal Article
Angulo, R. E., Hahn, O., Ludlow, A. D., & Bonoli, S. (2017). Earth-mass haloes and the emergence of NFW density profiles. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 471(4), 4687-4701. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx1658

We simulate neutralino dark matter (χDM) haloes from their initial collapse, at ∼ earth mass, up to a few percent solar. Our results confirm that the density profiles of the first haloes are described by a ∼r−1.5 power law. As haloes grow in mass, th...

Einasto profiles and the dark matter power spectrum (2016)
Journal Article
Ludlow, A. D., & Angulo, R. E. (2017). Einasto profiles and the dark matter power spectrum. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 465(1), L84-L88. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slw216

We study the mass accretion histories (MAHs) and density profiles of dark matter haloes using N-body simulations of self-similar gravitational clustering from scale-free power spectra, P(k) ∝ kn. We pay particular attention to the density profile cur... Read More about Einasto profiles and the dark matter power spectrum.
