3
What is Dark Matter? In a galaxy, the radial profile of the gravitating matter M(r) and that of the sum of all luminous components M L (r) do not match. A MASSIVE DARK COMPONENT is introduced to account for the disagreement: Its profile M H (r) must obey: The DM phenomenon can be investigated only if we accurately meausure the distribution of: Luminous matter. Gravitating matter.
4
Dark Matter Profiles from N-body simulations In ΛCDM scenario the density profile for virialized DM halos of all masses of all masses is empirically described at all times by the universal NFW formula (Navarro+96,97). More massive and halos formed earlier have larger overdensities . Concentration c=R 200 / r s is an alternative density measure.
5
The concentration scales with mass and redshift (Zhao+03,08; Gao+08, Klypin+10): At low z, c decreases with mass. -> Movie 1
6
Aquarius simulations, highest resolutions to date. Results: Cuspy Einasto profiles (Navarro+10). No difference for mass modelling with NFW ones with dependent slightly on mass.

ROTATION CURVES (RC) Symmetric circular rotation of a disk characterized by Sky coordinates of the galaxy centre Systemic velocity V sys Circular velocity V(R) Inclination angle = azimuthal angle Example of a recent high quality RC: Radial coordinate in units of R D V(2) V(R/R D ) R/R D

15
Evidence for a Mass Discrepancy The distribution of gravitating matter is luminosity dependent. Tully-Fisher relation exists at local level (radii R i ) Yegorova et al 2007

Rotation Curves Coadded from 3200 individual RCs PSS 6 R D mag. TYPICAL INDIVIDUAL RC low high
17
The Concept of the Universal Rotation Curve (URC) The Cosmic Variance of the value of V(x,L) in galaxies of same luminosity L at the same radius x=R/R D is negligible compared to the variations that V(x,L) shows as x and L varies. The URC out to 6 R D is derived directly from observations How to extrapolate the URC out to virial radius? Needed -> Movie 2
18
Extrapolating the URC to the Virial radius Virial halo masses and V VIR are obtained - directly by weak-lensing - indirectly by correlating dN/dL with theoretical DM halo dN/dM Shankar et al 2006

22
Dark Halo Scaling Laws There exist relationships between halo structural quantiies and luminosity. Investigated via mass modelling of individual galaxies - Assumption: Maximun Disk, 30 objects -the slope of the halo rotation curve near the center gives the halo core density - extended RCs provide an estimate of halo core radiusr c r c Kormendy & Freeman (2003) o ~ L B - 0.35 r c ~ L B 0.37 ~ L B 0.20 oo rcrc The central surface density ~ o r c =constant 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0

CONCLUSIONS The distribution of DM halos around galaxies shows a striking and complex phenomenology. This leads to essential information on: the very nature of dark matter the galaxy formation process Baryon +DM Simulations should eventually reproduce Shallow DM inner distribution, the observed relationships between the halo mass and 1) central halo density, 2) baryonic mass, 3) half-mass baryonic radius and 4) baryonic central surface density, a constant central halo surface density. Theory, phenomenology, simulations, experiments should play a balanced role in the search for dark matter and its role.
