Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Vinh Tran, Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger, Daniel Gilman, Stephanie O’Neil | Summary: We present a novel analytic density profile for halos in self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models, which accurately captures the isothermal-core configuration, i.e. where both the density and velocity dispersion profiles exhibit central plateaus in the […]
