Universal Basic Mass Density inside Dark Matter Halos

Abstract

In this work we propose a universal basic mass density and a universal basic metric inside dark matter halos in the framework of Einstein equations providing an analytical ground for learning about dark matter. In a previous work the authors have proposed a simplified model for galaxies: a Schwarzschild black hole (that contains all the baryonic matter of the galaxy) immersed inside a dark matter halo. The solution solved the Einstein equations perturbatively and successfully gave the flat rotation curve and the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, the two signatures of spiral galaxies. In this work we take the black hole mass (the baryonic mass) of the solution to be zero in order to focus our study on the dark matter halo exclusively. Among the results (1) is the prediction of a universal basic mass density of dark matter, $\rho =a_0/2\pi Gr$, where $a_0\approx 2.8\times 10^{-11}m/s^2$ is a universal constant whose value was deduced from observations, (2) we show that the mass and velocity curve of the dark halo agree excellently with observational data at intermediate distances where the baryonic matter contribution is negligible, (3) we show that the constant $a_0$ is the origin of the constant surface density of dark matter and the origin of the scale-radius/scale-density scaling relation of the Navarro-Frenk-White profile (4) we show how the inclusion of baryonic matter in our model solves the core-cusp problem.
