AST-0407351MaThis project will investigate the formation and evolution of dark matter halos and supermassive black holes. It advances a cosmological kinetic theory for the formation and relaxation of dark matter halos in hierarchical models of structure formation based on cold dark matter. Substructure and mergers are followed in a statistical way. The theory will be developed into the fully nonlinear regime and compared to N-body simulations, leading to a deeper understanding of the physics of dark matter dynamics. Work will focus on important, timely issues of galactic structure with a level of detail that is both tractable and essential for advancing the understanding of the role of dark matter in galaxy formation. Both of the main investigators have won awards for teaching, and this research will involve both high school students and undergraduates. An intensive five-week summer research institute focuses the attention of high school participants. Any developed computer codes will be made publicly available.

AST-0407351这个项目将研究暗物质晕和超大质量黑洞的形成和演化。提出了冷暗物质层次结构模型中暗物质晕形成和驰豫的宇宙学动力学理论。子结构和合并以统计的方式紧随其后。该理论将发展到完全非线性的区域，并与N体模拟进行比较，从而加深对暗物质动力学物理的理解。工作将集中在重要的、及时的星系结构问题上，其细节水平既易于处理，又对促进对暗物质在星系形成中的作用的理解至关重要。这两位主要研究人员都曾因教学而获奖，这项研究将涉及高中生和本科生。为期五周的密集暑期研究机构吸引了高中学生的注意力。任何开发的计算机代码都将公开提供。
