Using numerical simulations and the Sheth-Tormen approximation we study the mass function of dark matter halos in voids. We find that the void mass function is significantly lower and its shape is different than that of the field halos. We predict that in the standard LCDM model a void with radius 10 h^-1 Mpc should have 50 halos with circular velocity v_c > 50 km/s and 600 halos with v_c > 20 km/s.

We quantify the information content of the non-linear matter power spectrum, the halo mass function, and the void size function, using the Quijote N-body simulations. We find that these three statistics exhibit very different degeneracies amongst the
cosmological parameters, and thus the combination of all three probes enables the breaking of degeneracies, in turn yielding remarkably tight constraints. We perform a Fisher analysis using the full covariance matrix, including all auto- and cross-correlations, finding that this increases the information content for neutrino mass compared to a correlation-free analysis. The multiplicative improvement of the constraints on the cosmological parameters obtained by combining all three probes compared to using the power spectrum alone are: 137, 5, 8, 20, 10, and 43, for $Omega_m$, $Omega_b$, $h$, $n_s$, $sigma_8$, and $M_ u$, respectively. The marginalized error on the sum of the neutrino masses is $sigma(M_ u)=0.018,{rm eV}$ for a cosmological volume of $1,(h^{-1}{rm Gpc})^3$, using $k_{max}=0.5,h{rm Mpc}^{-1}$, and without CMB priors. We note that this error is an underestimate insomuch as we do not consider super-sample covariance, baryonic effects, and realistic survey noises and systematics. On the other hand, it is an overestimate insomuch as our cuts and binning are suboptimal due to restrictions imposed by the simulation resolution. Given upcoming galaxy surveys will observe volumes spanning $sim 100,(h^{-1}{rm Gpc})^3$, this presents a promising new avenue to measure neutrino mass without being restricted by the need for accurate knowledge of the optical depth, which is required for CMB-based measurements. Furthermore, the improved constraints on other cosmological parameters, notably $Omega_m$, may also be competitive with CMB-based measurements.
The mass function of dark halos in a Lambda-dominated cold dark matter (LambdaCDM) universe is investigated. 529 output files from five runs of N-body simulations are analyzed using the friends-of-friends cluster finding algorithm. All the runs use 5
12^3 particles in the box size of 35 h^{-1}Mpc to 140 h^{-1}Mpc. Mass of particles for 35 h^{-1} Mpc runs is 2.67 times 10^7 h^{-1} M_{solar}. Because of the high mass resolution of our simulations, the multiplicity function in the low-mass range, where the mass is well below the characteristic mass and $ u = delta_c / sigma lesssim 1.0$, is evaluated in the present work, and is well fitted by the functional form proposed by Sheth & Tormen (ST). However, the maximum value of the multiplicity function from our simulations at $ u sim 1$ is smaller, and its low mass tail is shallower when compared with the ST multiplicity function.
Mass models of 15 nearby dwarf and spiral galaxies are presented. The galaxies are selected to be homogeneous in terms of the method used to determine their distances, the sampling of their rotation curves (RCs) and the mass-to-light ratio (M/L) of t
heir stellar contributions, which will minimize the uncertainties on the mass model results. Those RCs are modeled using the MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) prescription and the observationally motivated pseudo-isothermal (ISO) dark matter (DM) halo density distribution. For the MOND models with fixed (M/L), better fits are obtained when the constant a$_{0}$ is allowed to vary, giving a mean value of (1.13 $pm$ 0.50) $times$ 10$^{-8}$ cm s$^{-2}$, compared to the standard value of 1.21 $times$ 10$^{-8}$ cm s$^{-2}$. Even with a$_{0}$ as a free parameter, MOND provides acceptable fits (reduced $chi^{2}_{r}$ $<$ 2) for only 60% (9/15) of the sample. The data suggest that galaxies with higher central surface brightnesses tend to favor higher values of the constant a$_{0}$. This poses a serious challenge to MOND since a$_{0}$ should be a universal constant. For the DM models, our results confirm that the DM halo surface density of ISO models is nearly constant at $ rho_{0} R_{C} sim 120 M_{odot} pc^{-2}$. This means that if the (M/L) is determined by stellar population models, ISO DM models are left with only one free parameter, the DM halo central surface density.
I discuss the dynamical interaction of galactic disks with the surrounding dark matter halos. In particular it is demonstrated that if the self-gravitating shearing sheet, a model of a patch of a galactic disk, is embedded in a live dark halo, this h
as a strong effect on the dynamics of density waves in the sheet. I describe how the density waves and the halo interact via halo particles either on orbits in resonance with the wave or on non-resonant orbits. Contrary to expectation the presence of the halo leads to a very considerable enhancement of the amplitudes of the density waves in the shearing sheet. This effect appears to be the equivalent of the recently reported enhanced growth of bars in numerically simulated stellar disks embedded in live dark halos. Finally I discuss the counterparts of the perturbations of the disk in the dark halo.
We investigate a hypothesis regarding the origin of the scalelength in halos formed in cosmological N-body simulations. This hypothesis can be viewed as an extension of an earlier idea put forth by Merritt and Aguilar. Our findings suggest that a phe
nomenon related to the radial orbit instability is present in such halos and is responsible for density profile shapes. This instability sets a scalelength at which the velocity dispersion distribution changes rapidly from isotropic to radially anisotropic. This scalelength is reflected in the density distribution as the radius at which the density profile changes slope. We have tested the idea that radially dependent velocity dispersion anisotropy leads to a break in density profile shape by manipulating the input of a semi-analytic model to imitate the velocity structure imposed by the radial orbit instability. Without such manipulation, halos formed are approximated by single power-law density profiles and isotropic velocity distributions. Halos formed with altered inputs display density distributions featuring scalelengths and anisotropy profiles similar to those seen in cosmological N-body simulations.
