Self-Similar Spherical Collapse with Tidal Torque

Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | Summary:N-body simulations have revealed a wealth of information about dark matter halos however their results are largely empirical. Using analytic means, we attempt to shed light on simulation results by generalizing the self-similar secondary infall model to include tidal torque. In this first of two papers, we describe our halo […]
