The fermionic King model
Pierre-Henri Chavanis, Mohammed Lemou, Florian Méhats
We study the fermionic King model which may provide a relevant model of dark matter halos. The exclusion constraint can be due to quantum mechanics (for fermions such as massive ne…
Models of dark matter halos based on statistical mechanics: II. The fermionic King model
Pierre-Henri Chavanis, Mohammed Lemou, Florian Méhats
We discuss the nature of phase transitions in the fermionic King model which describes tidally truncated quantum self-gravitating systems. This distribution function takes into acc…
Models of dark matter halos based on statistical mechanics: I. The classical King model
Pierre-Henri Chavanis, Mohammed Lemou, Florian Méhats
We consider the possibility that dark matter halos are described by the Fermi-Dirac distribution at finite temperature. This is the case if dark matter is a self-gravitating quantu…
