Using spectral methods, we analyse the orbital structure of prolate/triaxial dark matter (DM) halos in N-body simulations to understand the processes that drive the evolution of shapes of DM halos and elliptical galaxies in which central masses are grown. A longstanding issue is whether the change in the shapes of DM halos is the result of chaotic scattering of box orbits, or whether they change shape adiabatically in response to the evolving galactic potential. We use orbital frequencies to classify orbits, to quantify orbital shapes, and to identify resonant orbits and chaotic orbits. The frequency-based method overcomes the limitations of Lyapunov exponents which are sensitive to numerical discreteness effects. Regardless of the distribution of the baryonic component, the shape of a DM halo changes primarily due to changes in the shapes of individual orbits within a given family. Orbits with small pericentric radii are more likely to change both their orbital type and shape than orbits with large pericentric radii. Whether the evolution is regular (and reversible) or chaotic (and irreversible), depends primarily on the radial distribution of the baryonic component. The growth of an extended baryonic component of any shape results in a regular rather than chaotic change in orbital populations. In contrast the growth of a massive and compact central component results in chaotic scattering of a significant fraction of both box and long-axis tube orbits. The growth of a disk causes a significant fraction of halo particles to become trapped by major global orbital resonances. Despite the fact that shape of a DM halo is always quite oblate following the growth of a central baryonic component, a significant fraction of its orbit population has characteristics of its triaxial or prolate progenitor (ABRIDGED).
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
We study the behaviors of galactic disks in triaxial halos both numerically and analytically to see if warps can be excited and sustained in triaxial potentials. We consider the following two scenarios: 1) galactic disks that are initially tilted rel
In a purely cold dark matter universe, the initial matter power spectrum and its subsequent gravitational growth contain no special mass- or time-scales, and so neither do the emergent population statistics of internal dark matter (DM) halo propertie
The cosmic baryonic fluid at low redshifts is similar to a fully developed turbulence. In this work, we use simulation samples produced by the hybrid cosmological hydrodynamical/N-body code, to investigate on what scale the deviation of spatial distr
Cosmological simulations indicate that cold dark matter (CDM) halos should be triaxial. Verifying observationally this theoretical prediction is, however, less than straightforward because the assembly of galaxies is expected to modify the halo shape
