Reconciling the Diversity and Uniformity of Galactic Rotation Curves with Self-Interacting Dark Matter

Galactic rotation curves exhibit diverse behavior in the inner regions while obeying an organizing principle; i.e., they can be approximately described by a radial acceleration relation or the modified Newtonian dynamics phenomenology. We analyze the rotation curve data from the SPARC sample and exp...
