Abstract

We have used a hybrid N-body-FFT approach to solving Poisson’s equation in a cosmological setting. Using this method, we have explored the connection between the form of the initial Gaussian density perturbations that by today have grown into galaxies and the internal properties of the individual galactic halos that are formed.
