Constraining the shape of dark matter haloes using only starlight II. Tests of the technique with objects of known gravitational potential

Under the collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm, galaxies with stellar masses below 10**(5-6) Msun are expected to preserve primordial cuspy dark matter (DM) profiles.

Under the collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm, galaxies with stellar masses below 10**(5-6) Msun are expected to preserve primordial cuspy dark matter (DM) profiles. Because baryonic feedback should be too weak to transform cusps into cores at these masses, such…
