N-body simulations of dark matter halos show that the density profiles of halos behave as $\rho(r)\propto r^{-\alpha(r)}$, where the density logarithmic slope $\alpha \simeq 1\sim1.5$ in the center and $\alpha \simeq 3\sim 4$ in the outer…

While N-body simulations testify for a cuspy profile of the central region of the dark matter haloes, observations favor a shallow, cored density profile of the central region of, at least, some spiral galaxies and dwarf spheroidals. We…
N-body simulations of dark matter halos show that the density is cusped near the center of the halo. The density profile behaves as $r^{-\gamma}$ in the inner parts, where $\gamma \simeq 1$ for the NFW model and $\gamma \simeq 1.5$ for the…
