Can Lensing Measure The Shape Of Dark Matter Halos?

Hussain, Uzair (University of Waterloo, 2012-09-27)

The aim of this project was to explore the shapes of dark matter halos using high resolution N-body simulations. One of the main aspects explored was how well the shape can be measured through weak lensing. To explore this, ...
Dynamical Properties of Dark Matter Halo Mergers

Berrouet, Anael (University of Waterloo, 2015-09-29)

This thesis examines the nature of mixing and heating during the merging of single, isolated dark matter halos, as well as a short discussion of the statistical nature of repeated mergers in a cosmological setting. A small ...
