abstract

Recent observations indicate that dark matter haloes have flat central density profiles. Cosmological simulations with non-baryonic dark matter predict however self similar haloes with central density cusps. This contradiction has lead to the conclusion that dark matter must be baryonic. Here it is shown that the dark matter haloes of dwarf spiral galaxies represent a one parameter family with self similar density profiles. The observed global halo parameters are coupled with each other through simple scaling relations which can be explained by the standard cold dark matter model if one assumes that all the haloes formed from density fluctuations with the same primordial amplitude. We find that the finite central halo densities correlate with the other global parameters. This result rules out scenarios where the flat halo cores formed subsequently through violent dynamical processes in the baryonic component. These cores instead provide important information on the origin and nature of dark matter in dwarf galaxies.

Field Sources for Dark Matter Black Holes

gr-qc · 2026-05-24 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Dark matter halo profiles admit effective nonlinear electrodynamics completions that source regular black holes exhibiting de Sitter cores for finite central density and Schwarzschild asymptotics.

Testing Heavy Dark Matter Decay as the Origin of KM3-230213A

hep-ex · 2026-06-08 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Assuming the KM3-230213A event comes from heavy dark matter decay, the preferred mass exceeds 100 PeV at 95% CL with lifetimes of 10^26-10^27 s, but these regions conflict with bounds from other neutrino telescopes and gamma-ray observations.
