A new model for the postcollapse equilibrium structure of virialized objects which condense out of the cosmological background universe is described and compared with observations and simulations of cosmological halos from dwarf galaxies to X-ray clusters. The model is based upon the assumption that virialized halos are isothermal, which leads to a prediction of a unique nonsingular isothermal sphere for the equilibrium structure, with a core radius which is approximately 1/30 times the size and a core density which is proportional to the mean background density at the epoch of collapse. These predicted nonsingular isothermal spheres are in good agreement with the observations of the internal structure of dark-matter-dominated halos from dwarf galaxies to X-ray clusters.
