New model of density distribution for fermionic dark matter halos [GA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1908.11196


In this paper, we formulate a new model of density distribution for halos made of warm dark matter (WDM) particles. The model is described by a single microphysics parameter – the mass (or, equivalently, the maximal value of the initial phase-space density distribution) of dark matter particles. Given the WDM particle mass and the parameters of a dark matter density profile at the halo periphery, this model predicts the inner density profile. In case of initial Fermi-Dirac distribution, we successfully reproduce cored dark matter profiles from N-body simulations. Also, we calculate the core radii of warm dark matter halos of dwarf spheroidal galaxies for particle masses $m_\text{FD}=$100, 200, 300 and 400 eV.
