Dissipation and Formation of Galactic Halos
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 August 2017
Extract
When protogalaxies collapse, the cooling and infall of what will become the visible galactic component affects the mass distribution of dissipationless dark matter particles which constitute the halo. For spiral galaxies, the reaction of the dissipationless halo can have a striking effect on the resulting rotation curves [1–5].
