A dynamics-based density profile for dark haloes – II. Fitting function

چکیده
The density profiles of dark matter haloes are commonly described by fitting functions such as the NFW or Einasto models, but these approximations break down in transition region where halos become dominated newly accreting matter. Here we present a simple, accurate new function that is inspired asymptotic shapes separate orbiting and infalling halo components. term truncated profile, $\rho_{\rm orb} \propto \exp \left[-2/\alpha\ (r / r_{\rm s})^\alpha - 1/\beta\ t})^\beta \right]$, with five-parameter space normalization, physically distinct scale truncation radii, $\alpha$ $\beta$, which control how rapidly steepen. profile modelled power law overdensity smoothly transitions to constant at centre. We show formulae fit averaged, total simulations about 5% accuracy across almost all an expansive parameter mass, redshift, cosmology, accretion rate. When fixing $\alpha = 0.18$ $\beta 3$, formula becomes three-parameter model fits individual better than on average. By analogy King profiles, sharp resembles cut-off binding energy.

A necessary condition for best fitting analytical to simulated density profiles in dark matter haloes
Analytical and geometrical properties of generalized power-law (GPL) density profiles are reviewed, and special effort is devoted to the special cases where GPL density profiles reduce to (i) a double power-law (DPL), and (ii) a single power-law (SPL). Then GPL density profiles are compared with simulated dark haloes (SDH) density profiles, and nonlinear least-squares fits are prescribed, invol...
متن کاملDark matter haloes: an additional criterion for the choice of fitting density profiles
Simulated dark matter haloes are fitted by self-similar, universal density profiles, where the scaled parameters depend only on a scaled (truncation) radius, Ξ = R/r0, which, in turn, is supposed to be independent on the mass and the formation redshift. The further assumption of a lognormal distribution (for a selected mass bin) of the scaled radius, or concentration, in agreement with the data...
متن کاملIs the Radial Profile of the Phase-Space Density of Dark Matter Haloes a Power-Law?
The latest cosmological N -body simulations find two intriguing properties for dark matter haloes: (1) their radial density profile, ρ, is better fit by a form that flattens to a constant at the halo center (the Einasto profile) than the widely-used NFW form; (2) the radial profile of the pseudo-phase-space density, ρ/σ r , on the other hand, continues to be well fit by a power law, as seen in ...
متن کاملThe mass function of dark matter haloes
We combine data from a number of N-body simulations to predict the abundance of dark haloes in cold dark matter (CDM) universes over more than four orders of magnitude in mass. A comparison of different simulations suggests that the dominant uncertainty in our results is systematic and is smaller than 10±30 per cent at all masses, depending on the halo definition used. In particular, our `Hubbl...
متن کاملGravitational cooling and density profile near caustics in collisionless dark matter haloes
Cold dark matter haloes are populated by high-density structures with sharplypeaked profiles known as caustics which have not yet been resolved by 3dimensional numerical simulations. Here, we derive semi-analytic expressions for the density profiles near caustics in haloes which form by self-similar accretions of dark matter with infinitesimal velocity dispersion. A simple rescaling shows that ...
