CLASH-VLT: The Inner Slope of the MACS J1206.2-0847 Dark Matter Density Profile

CLASH-VLT: The Inner Slope of the MACS J1206.2-0847 Dark Matter Density Profile

The inner slope ( γ _DM ) of the dark matter (DM) density profile of cosmological halos carries information about the properties of DM and/or baryonic processes affecting the halo gravitational potential. Cold DM cosmological simulations predict steep inner slopes, γ _DM ≃ 1. We test this prediction...
