abstract
We use N-body simulations to find the effect of neutrino masses on halo properties, and investigate how the density profiles of both the neutrino and the dark matter components change as a function of the neutrino mass. We compare our neutrino density profiles with results from the N-one-body method and find good agreement. We also show and explain why the Tremaine-Gunn bound for the neutrinos is not saturated. Finally we study how the halo mass function changes as a function of the neutrino mass and compare our results with the Sheth-Tormen semi-analytic formulae. Our results are important for surveys which aim at probing cosmological parameters using clusters, as well as future experiments aiming at measuring the cosmic neutrino background directly.

Evolution of self-gravitating spherical dark-matter halos with and without new physics
A spherical-symmetry N-body algorithm, NSphere, quickly evolves dark matter halos, and finds that after sudden tidal stripping a halo relaxes to a density profile falling as r^-10.
