This paper is an extension of the paper by Del Popolo, Chan, and Mota (2020) to take account the effect of dynamical friction. We show how dynamical friction changes the threshold of collapse, $delta_c$, and the turn-around radius, $R_t$. We find numerically the relationship between the turnaround radius, $R_{rm t}$, and mass, $M_{rm t}$, in $Lambda$CDM, in dark energy scenarios, and in a $f(R)$ modified gravity model. Dynamical friction gives rise to a $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relation differing from that of the standard spherical collapse. In particular, dynamical friction amplifies the effect of shear, and vorticity already studied in Del Popolo, Chan, and Mota (2020). A comparison of the $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relationship for the $Lambda$CDM, and those for the dark energy, and modified gravity models shows, that the $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relationship of the $Lambda$CDM is similar to that of the dark energy models, and small differences are seen when comparing with the $f(R)$ models. The effect of shear, rotation, and dynamical friction is particularly evident at galactic scales, giving rise to a difference between the $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relation of the standard spherical collapse of the order of $simeq 60%$. Finally, we show how the new values of the $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ influence the constraints to the $w$ parameter of the equation of state.

We determine the relationship between the turnaround radius, $R_{rm t}$, and mass, $M_{rm t}$, in $Lambda$CDM, and in dark energy scenarios, using an extended spherical collapse model taking into account the effects of shear and vorticity. We find a more general formula than that usually described in literature, showing a dependence of $R_{rm t}$ from shear, and vorticity. The $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relation differs from that obtained not taking into account shear, and rotation, especially at galactic scales, differing $simeq 30%$ from the result given in literature. This has effects on the constraint of the $w$ parameter of the equation of state. We compare the $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relationship obtained for the $Lambda$CDM, and different dark energy models to that obtained in the $f(R)$ modified gravity (MG) scenario. The $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relationship in $Lambda$CDM, and dark energy scenarios are tantamount to the prediction of the $f(R)$ theories. Then, the $R_{rm t}-M_{rm t}$ relationship is not a good probe to test gravity theories beyond Einsteins general relativity.

We use the Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments ( EAGLE ) suite of hydrodynamical cosmological simulations to measure offsets between the centres of stellar and dark matter components of galaxies. We find that the vast majority ( >95%) of the simulated galaxies display an offset smaller than the gravitational softening length of the simulations (Plummer-equivalent $epsilon = 700$ pc), both for field galaxies and satellites in clusters and groups. We also find no systematic trailing or leading of the dark matter along a galaxys direction of motion. The offsets are consistent with being randomly drawn from a Maxwellian distribution with $sigma leq 196$ pc. Since astrophysical effects produce no feasible analogues for the $1.62^{+0.47}_{-0.49}$ kpc offset recently observed in Abell 3827, the observational result is in tension with the collisionless cold dark matter model assumed in our simulations.
We present a method that extends the capabilities of the PINpointing Orbit-Crossing Collapsed HIerarchical Objects (PINOCCHIO) code, allowing it to generate accurate dark matter halo mock catalogues in cosmological models where the linear growth fact or and the growth rate depend on scale. Such cosmologies comprise, among others, models with massive neutrinos and some classes of modified gravity theories. We validate the code by comparing the halo properties from PINOCCHIO against N-body simulations, focusing on cosmologies with massive neutrinos: $ uLambda$CDM. We analyse the halo mass function, halo two-point correlation function, halo power spectrum and the moments of the halo density field, showing that PINOCCHIO reproduces the results from simulations with the same level of precision as the original code ($sim5-10%$). We demonstrate that the abundance of halos in cosmologies with massless and massive neutrinos from PINOCCHIO matches very well the outcome of simulations, and point out that PINOCCHIO can reproduce the $Omega_ u-sigma_8$ degeneracy that affects the halo mass function. We show that the clustering properties of the halos from PINOCCHIO matches accurately those from simulations both in real and redshift-space, in the latter case up to $k=0.3~h~{rm Mpc}^{-1}$. We finally point out that the first moments of the halo density field from simulations are precisely reproduced by PINOCCHIO. We emphasize that the computational time required by PINOCCHIO to generate mock halo catalogues is orders of magnitude lower than the one needed for N-body simulations. This makes this tool ideal for applications like covariance matrix studies within the standard $Lambda$CDM model but also in cosmologies with massive neutrinos or some modified gravity theories.
We present an in-depth exploration of the phenomenon of dynamical friction in a universe where the dark matter is composed entirely of so-called Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM), ultralight bosons of mass $msimmathcal{O}(10^{-22}),$eV. We review the classical treatment of dynamical friction before presenting analytic results in the case of FDM for point masses, extended mass distributions, and FDM backgrounds with finite velocity dispersion. We then test these results against a large suite of fully non-linear simulations that allow us to assess the regime of applicability of the analytic results. We apply these results to a variety of astrophysical problems of interest, including infalling satellites in a galactic dark matter background, and determine that emph{(1)}~for FDM masses $mgtrsim 10^{-21}, {rm eV}, c^{-2}$, the timing problem of the Fornax dwarf spheroidals globular clusters is no longer solved and emph{(2)}~the effects of FDM on the process of dynamical friction for satellites of total mass $M$ and relative velocity $v_{rm rel}$ should require detailed numerical simulations for $left(M/10^9~M_{odot}right) left(m/10^{-22}~{rm eV}right)left(100~{rm km}~{rm s}^{-1}/v_{rm rel}right) sim 1$, parameters which would lie outside the validated range of applicability of any currently developed analytic theory, due to transient wave structures in the time-dependent regime.
In $Lambda$CDM cosmology, structure formation is halted shortly after dark energy dominates the mass/energy budget of the Universe. A manifestation of this effect is that in such a cosmology the turnaround radius has an upper bound. Recently, a new, local, test for the existence of dark energy in the form of a cosmological constant was proposed based on this turnaround bound. Before designing an experiment that, through high-precision determination of masses and turnaround radii, will challenge $Lambda$CDM cosmology, we have to answer two important questions: first, when turnaround-scale structures are predicted to be close enough to their maximum size, so that a possible violation of the bound may be observable. Second, which is the best mass scale to target for possible violations of the bound. Using the Press-Schechter formalism, we find that turnaround structures have in practice already stopped forming, and consequently, the turnaround radius of structures must be very close to the maximum value today. We also find that the mass scale of $sim 10^{13} M_odot$ characterizes turnaround structures that start to form in a statistically important number density today. This mass scale also separates turnaround structures with different cosmological evolution: smaller structures are no longer readjusting their mass distribution inside the turnaround scale, they asymptotically approach their ultimate abundance from higher values, and they are common enough to have, at some epoch, experienced major mergers with structures of comparable mass; larger structures exhibit the opposite behavior. We call this mass scale the transitional mass scale and we argue that it is the optimal for the purpose outlined above. As a corollary result, we explain the different accretion behavior of small and larger structures observed in already conducted numerical simulations.
