Comments on "Modeling Galaxy Halos Using Dark Matter with Pressure"
arXiv:0905.2084 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.79.128301
Abstract
We comment on the calculational mistake in the paper "Modeling galaxy halos using dark matter with pressure" by Somnath Bharadwaj and Sayan Kar. The authors made a mistake while calculating the metric, which led to an overestimate of the deflection angle of light passing through the halos for -1<w_r<-0.5 and an underestimate of the deflection angle for -0.5<w_r<0. In addition, solution for w_r>0 should not exist. Although the Bharadwaj-Kar solution should be corrected, it appears that the characteristics of the deflection angle under the supposed non-conventional non-ideal fluid equation of state for the dark matter halo remain sensitive to the impact parameter and may be verifiable through observations.
