The 13 pages that link to Cold dark matter, each with the reason it gives.

• Dark matter haloRelated: Slow-moving particles collapse into halos that grow hierarchically.

• Lambda-CDM modelRelated: It provides the gravitational scaffolding on which galaxies and larger structures grow.

• Cosmic webRelated: Its gravitational scaffolding helps determine how the web develops.

• Large-scale structure of the universeRelated: It predicts abundant small-scale structure that shapes the web's detailed hierarchy.

• Galaxy formation and evolutionRelated: Its gravitational structures provide the scaffolding in which galaxies assemble.

• Hierarchical structure formationRelated: Its small-scale density fluctuations provide the seeds for bottom-up growth.

• Galactic diskRelated: In cosmological models, dark matter halos provide the gravitational setting in which disks assemble.

• Missing satellites problemNarrower topic: Its small-scale structure predictions supply the abundant low-mass halos at the center of the problem.

• Galactic haloRelated: Its predictions for small halo structures are tested against observed galaxies and satellites.

• Cosmological parametersRelated: Its present density is one of the principal quantities fitted by cosmological observations.

• Too-big-to-fail problemNarrower topic: The predicted abundance and structure of subhalos arise in this framework.

• Structure formationRelated: Its early gravitational clumping provides the scaffolding for later galaxy formation.

• Galaxy rotation problemBroader topic: It is the leading particle-based explanation for the extra mass inferred in galaxies.
