A Universal Profile of the Dark Matter Halo and the Two-point Correlation Function
Abstract
We have investigated the relation between the two-point spatial correlation function and the density profile of the dark matter halo in the strongly non-linear regime. It is well known that when the density fluctuation grows into dark matter halo whose density profile is () on almost all mass scales, the two-point spatial correlation function obeys a power law with the power index in the strongly non-linear regime. We find the form of the two-point spatial correlation function, which does not obey the power law when the power index is smaller than 3/2, such as the density profile around the center of the halo which is proposed by Navarro, Frenk & White (1996,1997). By using the BBGKY equation in the strongly non-linear regime, it is also found that velocity parameter is not a constant even in the strongly non-linear regime () although it is a constant when and then the two-point spatial correlation function can be regarded as the power law. The velocity parameter becomes 0 at the non-linear limit of , that is, the stable clustering hypothesis cannot be satisfied when .
