The Orbital Structure of Dark Matter Halos with Gas
نویسنده
چکیده
With the success of the Chandra and XMM missions and the maturation of gravitational lensing techniques, powerful constraints on the orbital structure of cluster dark matter halos are possible. I show that the X-ray emissivity and mass of a galaxy cluster uniquely specify the anisotropy and velocity dispersion profiles of its dark matter halo. I consider hydrostatic as well as cooling flow scenarios, and apply the formalism to the lensing cluster CL0024+16 and the cooling flow cluster Abell 2199. In both cases, the model predicts a parameter-free velocity dispersion profile that is consistent with independent optical redshift surveys of the clusters. Subject headings: Galaxies: clusters: general—hydrodynamics—cooling flows—X-rays: galaxies—galaxies: clusters: individual (CL0024+16, Abell 2199)

Response of Dark Matter Halos to Condensation of Baryons: Cosmological Simulations and Improved Adiabatic Contraction Model
The cooling of gas in the centers of dark matter halos is expected to lead to a more concentrated dark matter distribution. The response of dark matter to the condensation of baryons is usually calculated using the model of adiabatic contraction, which assumes spherical symmetry and circular orbits. In contrast, halos in the hierarchical structure formation scenarios grow via multiple violent m...
متن کاملFormation of Large Structures in the Acceleration Universe with a Hybrid Expansion Law
In the current paper, we have studied the effect of dark energy on for-mation where dark energy exists in the background. For this purpose, we used both WMAP9 and Planck data to study how the radius changes with redshift in these mod-els. We used different data sets to fix the cosmological parameters to obtain a solution for a spherical region under collapse. The mechanism of structure formation f...
متن کاملThe Effect of Gasdynamics on the Structure of Dark Matter Halos
Adaptive SPH and N-body simulations were carried out to study the effect of gasdynamics on the structure of dark matter halos that result from the gravitational instability and fragmentation of cosmological pancakes. Such halos resemble those formed in a hierarchically clustering CDM universe and serve as a test-bed model for studying halo dynamics. With no gas, the density profile is close to ...
متن کاملDark matter halo response to the disk growth
We consider the sensitivity of the circular-orbit adiabatic contraction approximation (Barnes & White 1984; Blumenthal et al. 1986) to the timing of baryon condensation and the orbital structure of dark matter halos in the ΛCDM paradigm. Using one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations including the dark matter halo mass accretion history and gas cooling, we demonstrate that the adiabatic approxi...
متن کاملOn Singular Dark Matter Halos
The distribution of dark matter around galactic or cluster halos has usually been assumed to be approximately isothermal with a non-zero core radius, which is expected to be of the order of the size of the visible matter distribution. Recently, the possibility has been raised that dark matter halos might be singular in the sense that the dark matter density could increase monotonically with rad...
