Dark Halos: The Flattening of the Density Cusp by Dynamical Friction

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the discrepancy between theory and observations can be easily resolved within the standard CDM model, provided that gas is not initially smoothly distributed in the dark matter halo but rather is concentrated in clumps of mass 0.01% of the total mass of the system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flat-cored dark matter in cuspy clusters of galaxies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the inner dark matter distribution flattens when the b ≈ 0.35 galaxies spiral inward, and that the overall mass distribution remains core-like.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamical-friction galaxy-gas coupling and cluster cooling flows

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors revisited the notion that galaxy motions can efficiently heat intergalactic gas in the central regions of clusters through dynamical friction and showed that the energy reservoir in galactic motions is sufficient to sustain the required heating rate for the lifetime of the cluster.
