    DARK MATTER PROPERTIES IN GALAXY U5750

    No full text
    We investigate the properties of dark matter (DM) distribution in spiral galaxy U5750, employing the well known and widely used phenomenological density profiles such as pseudo-isothermal, Burkert, Navarro-Frenk-White, Einasto, Moore and exponential sphere. For simplicity we assume that DM distribution is spherically symmetric without accounting for the complex internal structure of the galaxy. We fit the rotation curve observational data of galaxy U5750 for each profile. We infer the model free parameters and estimate the total DM mass, and compare them with those reported in the literature. To discriminate the best fit profile among the considered ones, we make use of the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). On the basis of the performed statistical analysis, we provide physical interpretations for choosing certain profiles. In addition, by assuming that DM possesses non-zero pressure, we solve the Newtonian hydrostatic equilibrium equation and construct the pressure profiles as a functionof the radial coordinate for each above mentioned profile. Combining the density profiles with the pressure profiles we obtain equations of state for the DM in the considered galaxy. Further, we calculate the speed of soundin the DM medium and show that it behaves not unequivocally for the adopted profiles, though it decreaseswith an increasing DM density. Finally, we calculate the refracting index and discuss about astrophysical implications of the obtained results

    We investigate the dark matter distribution in the spiral galaxy ESO0140040, employing the most widely used density profiles: the pseudo-isothermal, exponential sphere, Burkert, Navarro-Frenk-White, Moore and Einasto profiles. We infer the model parameters and estimate the total dark matter content from the rotation curve data. For simplicity, we assume that dark matter distribution is spherically symmetric without accounting for the complex structure of the galaxy. Our predictions are compared with previous results and the fitted parameters are statistically confronted for each profile. We thus show that although one does not include the galaxy structure it is possible to account for the same dynamics assuming that dark matter provides a non-zero pressure in the Newtonian approximation. In this respect, we solve the hydrostatic equilibrium equation and construct the dark matter pressure as a function for each profile. Consequently, we discuss the dark matter equation of state and calculate the speed of sound in dark matter. Furthermore, we interpret our results in view of our approach and we discuss the role of the refractive index as an observational signature to discriminate between our approach and the standard one

    ACCRETION DISK LUMINOSITY FOR BLACK HOLES SURROUNDED BY DARK MATTER WITH ANISOTROPIC PRESSURE

    We investigate the luminosity of the accretion disk for a static black hole surrounded by dark matter with anisotropic pressure. We calculate all basic orbital parameters of test particles in the accretion disk, such as angular velocity, angular momentum, energy and radius of the innermost circular stable orbit as functions of the dark matter density, radial pressure and anisotropic param eter, which establishes the relationship between the radial and tangential pressures. We show that the presence of dark matter with anisotropic pressure makes a noticeable difference in the geometry around a Schwarzschild black hole, affecting the radiative flux, differential luminosity and spectral luminosity of the accretion disk
