Inner NFW contraction to a flat rotation curve

ID: inner-nfw-contraction-to-a-flat-rotation-curve

An inner NFW profile has , where . If the final total circular speed is , circular-shell adiabatic contraction gives and . Thus . The total density producing the flat curve is , so the dark fraction tends to zero as despite its increase relative to the original cusp.
