We performed N-body simulation on special-purpose computer, GRAPE-4, to investigate the structure of dark matter halos (Fukushige, T. and Makino, J. 1997, ApJL, 477, L9). Universal profile proposed by Navarro, Frenk, and White (1996, ApJ, 462, 563), which has cusp with density profiles ρ ∝r−1in density profile, cannot be reproduced in the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) picture of hierarchical clustering. Previous claims to the contrary were based on simulations with relatively few particles, and substantial softening. We performed simulations with particle numbers an order of magnitude higher, and essentially no softening, and found that typical central density profiles are clearly steeper than ρ ∝r−1, as shown in Figure 1. In addition, we confirm the presence of a temperature inversion in the inner 5 kpc of massive galactic halos, and give a natural explanation for formation of the temperature structure.

The hypothesis of an 'invisible' axion was made by Misha Shifman and others, approximately thirty years ago. It has turned out to be an unusually fruitful idea, crossing boundaries between particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. An axion with mass of order 10-5 eV (with large uncertainties) is one of the leading candidates for the dark matter of the universe. It was found recently that dark matter axions thermalize and form a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Because they form a BEC, axions differ from ordinary cold dark matter (CDM) in the non-linear regime of structure formation and upon entering the horizon. Axion BEC provides a mechanism for the production of net overall rotation in dark matter halos, and for the alignment of cosmic microwave anisotropy multipoles. Because there is evidence for these phenomena, unexplained with ordinary CDM, an argument can be made that the dark matter is axions.
