Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I report recent results of numerical simulations designed to study the inner structure of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos. This work confirms the proposal of Navarro, Frenk & White (NFW) that the shape of ACDM halo mass profiles differs strongly from a power law and is approximately independent of mass. the logarithmic slope of the spherically-averaged density profile, as measured by β = – d ln ρ / d ln r, decreases monotonically towards the center, becoming shallower than isothermal ( β < 2) inside a characteristic radius, r –2 , and shows no evidence for convergence to a well-defined asymptotic value ( β 0 ) at the center. the dark mass contained within the innermost radius resolved by the simulations places strong constraints on β 0 ; cusps as steep as r –1.5 are clearly ruled out in our highest resolution simulations. A profile where the radial dependence of the slope is a simple power law, β ( r ) ∝ r α , approximates the structure of halos better than the NFW profile and so may minimize errors when extrapolating our results inward to radii not yet reliably probed by numerical simulations. We compare the spherically-averaged circular velocity ( V c ) profiles to the rotation curves of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies in the samples of de Blok et al. and Swaters et al. the V c profiles of simulated CDM halos are generally consistent with the rotation curves of LSB galaxies, but there are also some clearly discrepant cases. This disagreement has been interpreted as excluding the presence of cusps, but it may also just reflect the difference between circular velocity and rotation speed likely to arise in gaseous disks embedded within realistic triaxial halos.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
