Abstract
We formulate a new model of density distribution for halos made of warm dark matter (WDM) particles. The model is described by a single microphysical parameter – the mass (or, equivalently, the maximal value of the initial phase-space density distribution) of dark matter particles. Given the WDM particle mass and the parameters of a dark matter density profile at the halo periphery, this model predicts the inner density profile. In the case of initial Fermi–Dirac distribution, we successfully reproduce cored dark matter profiles from N-body simulations. We calculate also the core radii of warm dark matter halos of dwarf spheroidal galaxies for particle masses mFD = 100, 200, 300, and 400 eV.
