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 transform 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.

This papers explores the self similar solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system and their relation to the gravitational collapse of dynamically cold systems. Analytic solutions are derived for power law potential in one dimension, and extensions of thes e solutions in three dimensions are proposed. Next the self similarity of the collapse of cold dynamical systems is investigated numerically. The fold system in phase space is consistent with analytic self similar solutions, the solutions present all the proper self-similar scalings. An additional point is the appearance of an $x^{-(1/2)}$ law at the center of the system for initial conditions with power law index larger than $-(1/2)$. It is found that the first appearance of the $x^{-(1/2)}$ law corresponds to the formation of a singularity very close to the center. Finally the general properties of self similar multi dimensional solutions near equilibrium are investigated. Smooth and continuous self similar solutions have power law behavior at equilibrium. However cold initial conditions result in discontinuous phase space solutions, and the smoothed phase space density looses its auto similar properties. This problem is easily solved by observing that the probability distribution of the phase space density $P$ is identical except for scaling parameters to the probability distribution of the smoothed phase space density $P_S$. As a consequence $P_S$ inherit the self similar properties of $P$. This particular property is at the origin of the universal power law observed in numerical simulation for ${rho}/{sigma^3}$. The self similar properties of $P_S$ implies that other quantities should have also an universal power law behavior with predictable exponents. This hypothesis is tested using a numerical model of the phase space density of cold dark matter halos, an excellent agreement is obtained.
The large-scale clustering of matter is impacted by baryonic physics, particularly AGN feedback. Modelling or mitigating this impact will be essential for making full use of upcoming measurements of cosmic shear and other large-scale structure probes . We study baryonic effects on the matter bispectrum, using measurements from a selection of state-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations: IllustrisTNG, Illustris, EAGLE, and BAHAMAS. We identify a low-redshift enhancement of the bispectrum, peaking at $ksim 3h,{rm Mpc}^{-1}$, that is present in several simulations, and discuss how it can be associated to the evolving nature of AGN feedback at late times. This enhancement does not appear in the matter power spectrum, and therefore represents a new source of degeneracy breaking between two- and three-point statistics. In addition, we provide physical interpretations for other aspects of these measurements, and make initial comparisons to predictions from perturbation theory, empirical fitting formulas, and the response function formalism. We publicly release our measurements (including estimates of their uncertainty due to sample variance) and bispectrum measurement code as resources for the community.
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 ibutions between baryons and dark matter is caused by turbulence. For this purpose, we do not include the physical processes such as star formation, supernovae (SNe) and active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback into our code, so that the effect of turbulence heating for IGM can be exhibited to the most extent. By computing cross-correlation functions $r_m(k)$ for the density field and $r_v(k)$ for the velocity field of both baryons and dark matter, we find that deviations between the two matter components for both density field and velocity field, as expected, are scale-dependent. That is, the deviations are the most significant at small scales and gradually diminish on larger and larger scales. Also, the deviations are time-dependent, i.e. they become larger and larger with increasing cosmic time. The most emphasized result is that the spatial deviations between baryons and dark matter revealed by velocity field are more significant than that by density field. At z = 0, at the 1% level of deviation, the deviation scale is about 3.7 $h^{-1}$Mpc for density field, while as large as 23 $h^{-1}$Mpc for velocity field, a scale that falls within the weakly non-linear regime for the structure formation paradigm. Our results indicate that the effect of turbulence heating is indeed comparable to that of these processes such as SN and AGN feedback.
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models have the potential to solve the small-scale problems that arise in the cold dark matter paradigm. Simulations are a powerful tool for studying SIDM in the context of astrophysics, but it is numerically chall enging to study differential cross-sections that favour small-angle scattering, as in light-mediator models. Here, we present a novel approach to model frequent scattering based on an effective drag force, which we have implemented into the N-body code gadget-3. In a range of test problems, we demonstrate that our implementation accurately models frequent scattering. Our implementation can be used to study differences between SIDM models that predict rare and frequent scattering. We simulate core formation in isolated dark matter haloes, as well as major mergers of galaxy clusters and find that SIDM models with rare and frequent interactions make different predictions. In particular, frequent interactions are able to produce larger offsets between the distribution of galaxies and dark matter in equal-mass mergers.
