Can Cuspy Dark-matter-dominated Halos Hold Cored Stellar Mass Distributions?
According to the current concordance cosmological model, dark matter (DM) particles are collisionless and produce self-gravitating structures with a central cusp, which, generally, is not observed. The observed density tends to a central plateau or core, explained within the cosmological model throu...
