An inner NFW profile has Mi​(ri​)=Ari2​, where A=2πρs​rs​. If the final total circular speed is V, circular-shell adiabatic contraction gives ri​=(V2/(GA))1/3r2/3 and MD′​=A1/3(V2/G)2/3r4/3. Thus ρD′​=A1/3(V2/G)2/3r−5/3/(3π). The total density producing the flat curve is V2/(4πGr2), so the dark fraction tends to zero as r1/3 despite its increase relative to the original cusp.
