On the Mass Dependence of the Inner Slopes of Dark Matter Density Profiles

We study through a semi-analytic model how the inner slopes of relaxed ΛCDM dark matter halos with and without baryons depend on the halo mass. We find that the inner logarithmic density slope, α ≡ d log ρ/d log r, of dark matter halos with baryons has a significant dependence on the halo mass with...
