We combine spatially resolved ASCA temperature data with ROSAT imaging data to constrain the total mass distribution in the cluster A401, assuming that the cluster is in hydrostatic equilibrium. We obtain a total mass within the X-ray core (290/h_50 kpc) of 1.2[+0.1,-0.5] 10^14 /h_50 Msun at the 90% confidence level, 1.3 times larger than the isothermal estimate. The total mass within r_500 (1.7/h_50 Mpc) is M_500 = 0.9[+0.3,-0.2] 10^15/ h_50 Msun at 90% confidence, in agreement with the optical virial mass estimate, and 1.2 times smaller than the isothermal estimate. Our M_500 value is 1.7 times smaller than that estimated using the mass-temperature scaling law predicted by simulations. The best fit dark matter density profile scales as r^{-3.1} at large radii, which is consistent with the Navarro, Frenk & White (NFW) ``universal profile as well as the King profile of the galaxy density in A401. From the imaging data, the gas density profile is shallower than the dark matter profile, scaling as r^{-2.1} at large radii, leading to a monotonically increasing gas mass fraction with radius. Within r_500 the gas mass fraction reaches a value of f_gas = 0.21[+0.06,-0.05] h_50^{-3/2} (90% confidence errors). Assuming that f_gas (plus an estimate of the stellar mass) is the universal value of the baryon fraction, we estimate the 90% confidence upper limit of the cosmological matter density to be Omega_m < 0.31.

We discuss the correlation between dark matter and Higgs decays in gauge theories where the dark matter is predicted from anomaly cancellation. In these theories, the Higgs responsible for the breaking of the gauge symmetry generates the mass for the
dark matter candidate. We investigate the Higgs decays in the minimal gauge theory for Baryon number. After imposing the dark matter density and direct detection constraints, we find that the new Higgs can have a large branching ratio into two photons or into dark matter. Furthermore, we discuss the production channels and the unique signatures at the Large Hadron Collider.
We report some results from one of the largest hydrodynamical cosmological simulations of large scale structures that has been done up to date. The MareNostrum Universe SPH simulation consists of 2 billion particles (2 times 1024^3) in a cubic box of
500 h^-1 Mpc on a side. This simulation has been done in the MareNostrum parallel supercomputer at the Barcelona SuperComputer Center. Due to the large simulated volume and good mass resolution, our simulated catalog of dark matter halos comprises more than half a million objects with masses larger than a typical Milky Way galaxy halo. From this dataset we have studied several statistical properties such as the evolution of the halo mass function, the void distribution, the shapes of dark and gas halos and the large scale distribution of baryons.
We perform a systematic analysis of models with GeV-scale dark matter coupled to baryons and leptons. Such theories provide a natural framework to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. We find that only a few baryonic dark matter m
odels are free from tree-level proton decay without explicitly imposing baryon number conservation. We enumerate those cases and provide a brief overview of their phenomenology. We then focus on a leptonic dark matter model for a more detailed discussion of the baryon asymmetry generation via leptogenesis, the symmetry restoration in the dark sector and the expected dark matter annihilation signals in indirect detection experiments.
The cosmological simulations indicates that the dark matter haloes have specific self similar properties. However the halo similarity is affected by the baryonic feedback, the momentum injected by the supernovae re-shape the dark matter core and tran
sform it to a flat density core, with a scale length imposed by the baryonic feedback. Additionally the baryon feedback impose also an equilibrium condition, which when coupled with the imposed baryonic scale length induce a new type of similarity. The new self similar solution implies that the acceleration generated by dark matter is scale free, which in turns implies that the baryonic acceleration at a reference radius is also scale free. Constant dark matter and baryonic accelerations at a reference radius have effectively been observed for a large class of different galaxies, which is in support of this approach. The new self similar properties implies that the total acceleration at larger distances is scale free, the transition between the dark matter and baryons dominated regime occurs at a constant acceleration, and the maximum of the velocity curve which defines the amplitude of the velocity curve at larger distances is proportional to $M^{frac{1}{4}}$. These results demonstrates that in this self similar model, cold dark matter is consistent with the basics of MOND phenomenology for the galaxies. In agreement with the observation the coincidence between the self similar model and MOND is expected to break at the scale of clusters of galaxies. Some numerical experiments shows that the behavior of the density near the origin is closely approximated by a Einasto profile.
We consider a dark matter halo (DMH) of a spherical galaxy as a Bose-Einstein condensate of the ultra-light axions interacting with the baryonic matter. In the mean-field limit, we have derived the integro-differential equation of the Hartree-Fock ty
pe for the spherically symmetrical wave function of the DMH component. This equation includes two independent dimensionless parameters: (i) b{eta}- the ratio of baryon and axion total mases and (ii) {xi}- the ratio of characteristic baryon and axion spatial parameters. We extended our dissipation algorithm for studying numerically the ground state of the axion halo in the gravitational field produced by the baryonic component. We calculated the characteristic size, Xc, of DMH as a function of b{eta} and {xi} and obtained an analytical approximation for Xc.
