Title

On Einstein Clusters and Dark Matter
Co-authors Andrea Geralico, Remo Ruffini

Abstract

The clasification of Einstein Clusters based on the analysis of the stability of circular orbits according to the effective potential theory is compared with that resulting from the application of the maximum binding energy criterion. The stability properties are investigated for different choices of the energy density profile. The application of the model to the case of our Galaxy is also studied, showing that a dark Einstein Cluster (i.e. composed by dark matter) with constant energy density is an alternative for a central massive Black Hole. An analysis of the composition and lifetime of a dark Einstein cluster is also made.

Title

Semi-degenerate self-gravitating system of fermions as Dark Matter in Galaxies II: Core & Halo description
Co-authors Bernardo Fraga, Remo Ruffini, Ivan Siutsou

Abstract

We use a model of self-gravitating fermions at finite temperature in General Relativity to describe dark matter (DM) in galaxies. We explore the maximum possible range of the free parameter space of the model, when compared with observations of central dark objects and galactic halos. In particular, we show that for very high values of the degeneracy parameter, central objects in galaxies with masses up to the Oppenheimer-Volkoff critical mass can be formed. Nontheless, for these cases no halo is present. Instead, when considering low values of this parameter we can hace a condensed central object and a halo in agreement with observations. For the Milky Way case, we found a central cored density distribution within a radius of 10^-2 pc for the right observed central mass.
