On the spin parameter of dark-matter haloes

The study by White (1984) on the growth of angular momentum in dark haloes is extended towards a more detailed investigation of the spin parameter $\lambda\equiv L\sqrt{E}/{G M^{2.5}}$. Starting from the Zel'dovich approximation to structure formation, a dark halo is approximated by a homogeneo...

520 |a The study by White (1984) on the growth of angular momentum in dark haloes is extended towards a more detailed investigation of the spin parameter $\lambda\equiv L\sqrt{E}/{G M^{2.5}}$. Starting from the Zel'dovich approximation to structure formation, a dark halo is approximated by a homogeneous ellipsoid with the inertial tensor of the (highly irregular) Lagrangian region $\Upsilon$ from which the dark halo forms. Within this approximation, an expression for the spin parameter can be derived, which depends on the geometry of $\Upsilon$, the cosmological density parameter $\Omega_0$, the overdensity of the dark halo, and the tidal torque exerted on it. For Gaussian random fields, this expression can be evaluated statistically. As a result, we derive a probability distribution of the spin parameter which gives $\lambda\simeq0.07^{+0.04}_{-0.05}$, consistent with numerical investigations. This probability distribution steeply rises with increasing spin parameter, reaching its maximum at $\lambda\simeq0.025$. The 10 (50,90) percentile values are $\lambda=0.02$ (0.05,0.11, respectively). There is a weak anticorrelation of the spin parameter with the peak height $\nu$ of the density fluctuation field $\lambda\propto \nu^{-0.29}$. The dependence on $\Omega_0$ and the variance $\sigma$ of the density-contrast field is very weak; there is only a marginal tendency for the spin parameter to be slightly larger for late-forming objects in an open universe. Due to the weak dependence on $\sigma$, our results should be quite generally applicable and independent on
