Typical density profile for warm dark matter haloes

Using the model for (bottom-up) hierarchical halo growth recently developed by Salvador-Sol\'e et al. (2012), we derive the typical spherically averaged density profile for haloes with several relevant masses in the concordant warm dark matter (\Lambda WDM) cosmology with non-thermal sterile neutrinos of two different masses. The predicted density profiles become flat at small radii, as expected from the effects of the spectrum cutoff. The core cannot be resolved, however, because the non-null particle velocity yields the fragmentation of minimum mass protohaloes in small nodes, which invalidates the model at the corresponding radii.
