(a) The rotation speed, v(r), of an object which is moving in a circular orbit of radius r within
a spherical mass distribution is given by:
S
v(r) =
where M(<r) is the mass within radius r.
How does v(r) vary with r when
(i) M(<r) is constant? {1}
(ii) the density p is constant? {2}
(iii) the density varies with radius as p(r) x 1/r²? {2}
Using these results, discuss the observational evidence for dark matter from galaxy rotation
curves. You should include a sketch of a galaxy rotation curve in your answer. {3}
(b) The dark matter halos which form in numerical simulations have density profiles, p(r).
which are well approximated by a Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile
Using the standard integral

where r, is the radius at which d In p/d lnr= -2 (i.e. pxr-2).
Show that
i) p(r) x r¹ for r <<rs {1}
ii) p(r) x r3 for r»rs {1}
