Phenomenological distribution of dark matter halos of galaxy comprising of stellar streams
Using the potential associated with NFW mass profile (Navarro et al. in Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 402:21, 2010) enclosed at scale radius rₛ, we calculate the partition function of the clustering of dark halos comprising of stellar streams, which are the outcome of accretion of globular clusters or d...

| Sumario: | Using the potential associated with NFW mass profile (Navarro et al. in Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 402:21, 2010) enclosed at scale radius rₛ, we calculate the partition function of the clustering of dark halos comprising of stellar streams, which are the outcome of accretion of globular clusters or dwarf galaxies onto a massive host galaxy. The thermodynamics of the system of halos of stellar streams may provide crucial information on the properties of galaxy clustering. The distribution function is studied through statistical formalism. The study can give us an idea of the extended structure of galaxies and the contribution of halos to the thermodynamics and the mass content of the host galaxy. In an attempt to fit the theoretical orbital velocity to the galaxy rotation curve for the data available for galaxy M33, we developed another potential that exactly leads to the best fit orbital velocity of the galaxy. Thus a phenomenological theory for the galaxy with a dark halo is established, with a new density profile. |
