The Cores of Dwarf Galaxy Halos
read the original abstract
We use N-body simulations to examine the effects of mass outflows on the density profiles of cold dark matter (CDM) halos surrounding dwarf galaxies. In particular, we investigate the consequences of supernova-driven winds that expel a large fraction of the baryonic component from a dwarf galaxy disk after a vigorous episode of star formation. We show that this sudden loss of mass leads to the formation of a core in the dark matter density profile, although the original halo is modeled by a coreless (Hernquist) profile. The core radius thus created is a sensitive function of the mass and radius of the baryonic disk being blown up. The loss of a disk with mass and size consistent with primordial nucleosynthesis constraints and angular momentum considerations imprints a core radius which is only a small fraction of the original scale-length of the halo. These small perturbations are, however, enough to reconcile the rotation curves of dwarf irregulars with the density profiles of haloes formed in the standard CDM scenario.

Dynamical flattening of halo density cusps by Q-ball dark matter
Interacting Q-ball dark matter flattens NFW cusps via density-dependent mergers that convert rest mass into escaping relativistic dark-sector particles, preferentially in halo centers.

Global trends in morphology from massive to dwarf galaxies
Galaxies become less concentrated, more asymmetric and less clumpy toward lower stellar masses, with bar fraction declining to zero near 10^8 solar masses and CAS parameters losing separating power in the dwarf regime.
