Generating equilibrium dark matter halos: Inadequacies of the local Maxwellian approximation
We describe an algorithm for constructing N-body realizations of equilibrium spherical systems. A general form for the mass density ρ(r) is used, making it possible to represent most of the popular density profiles found in the literature, including the cuspy density profiles found in high-resolutio...
