Dark Matter in Dwarf Galaxies: Latest Density Profile Results
We present high-resolution two-dimensional velocity fields in Hα and CO of the nearby dwarf galaxy NGC 2976. Our observations were made at both higher spatial resolution (∼ 75 pc) and higher velocity resolution (13 km s in Hα and 2 km s in CO) than most previous studies. We show that NGC 2976 has a very shallow dark matter density profile, with ρ(r) lying between ρ ∝ r and ρ ∝ r. We carefully t...
متن کاملDark Matter Profile in Clusters of Galaxies
Using X-ray observation we have obtained the deprojected gas density and temperature profiles for a sample of cluster of galaxies. We show that cool-core clusters, which are expected to be the largest relaxed structures in the universe, have central steep mass density profiles, similar to the cold dark matter density profiles resulting from cosmological N-body simulation. We will present detail...
متن کاملOn the density profile of dark matter substructure in gravitational lens galaxies
We consider three extensions of the Navarro, Frenk and White (NFW) profile and investigate the intrinsic degeneracies among the density profile parameters on the gravitational lensing effect of satellite galaxies on highly magnified Einstein rings. In particular, we find that the gravitational imaging technique can be used to exclude specific regions of the considered parameter space, and there...
متن کاملThe dark matter density problem in massive disk galaxies
We discuss measurements of disk mass from non-circular streaming motions of gas in the barred galaxies NGC 3095 and NGC 4123. In these galaxies with strong shocks and non-circular motions, the inner regions must be disk-dominated to reproduce the shocks. This requires dark matter halos of low central density and low concentration, compared to LCDM halo predictions. In addition, the baryonic col...
متن کاملThe density profile of equilibrium and non - equilibrium dark matter
We study the diversity of the density profiles of dark matter halos based on a large set of high-resolution cosmological simulations of 256 3 particles. The cosmological models include four scale-free models and three representative cold dark matter models. The simulations have good force resolution. In each cosmological model, there are about 400 massive halos which have more than 10 4 particl...
