This paper gives an overview of the attempts to determine the distribution of dark matter in low surface
brightness disk and gas-rich dwarf galaxies, both through observations and computer simulations. Observations
seem to indicate an approximately constant dark matter density in the inner parts of galaxies, while
cosmological computer simulations indicate a steep power-law-like behaviour. This difference has become
known as the “core/cusp problem,” and it remains one of the unsolved problems in small-scale cosmology.read more

Ultralight scalars as cosmological dark matter
TL;DR: Fuzzy dark matter (FDM) as discussed by the authorsDM is an alternative to CDM, which is an extremely light boson having a de Broglie wavelength inside the galaxy.

Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND):Observational Phenomenology and Relativistic Extensions
TL;DR: It is shown that many of these puzzling observations are predicted by one single relation — Milgrom’s law — involving an acceleration constant a0 on the order of the square-root of the cosmological constant in natural units.

A Universal Density Profile from Hierarchical Clustering
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used high-resolution N-body simulations to study the equilibrium density profiles of dark matter halos in hierarchically clustering universes, and they found that all such profiles have the same shape, independent of the halo mass, the initial density fluctuation spectrum, and the values of the cosmological parameters.

The Structure of cold dark matter halos
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution N-body simulations show that the density profiles of dark matter halos formed in the standard CDM cosmogony can be fit accurately by scaling a simple universal profile.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple cosmological model with only six parameters (matter density, Omega_m h^2, baryon density, BH 2, Hubble Constant, H_0, amplitude of fluctuations, sigma_8, optical depth, tau, and a slope for the scalar perturbation spectrum, n_s) was proposed to fit the three-year WMAP temperature and polarization data.
