The impact of baryonic discs on the shapes and profiles of self-interacting dark matter haloes

We employ isolated N-body simulations to study the response of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) haloes in the presence of the baryonic potentials. Dark matter self-interactions lead to kinematic thermalization in the inner halo, resulting in a tight correlation between the dark matter and baryon...
