Question

The number of satellites contained in these structures is strongly correlated with their concentration parameter, which normalizes the Navarro-Frenk-White density profile. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name these structures that contain the CGM, which strips satellites via ram pressure. Microlensing surveys have detected relatively few MACHOs in these regions.
ANSWER: galaxy halos [or galactic halos; or dark matter halos; accept Massive Compact Halo Objects; prompt on galaxies; prompt on overdense regions or overdensities]
[10h] The concentration parameter equals the ratio between a free parameter in the NFW profile and this physical quantity. The expansion of an overdensity is halted and reversed within the volume defined by this quantity.
ANSWER: virial radius [prompt on radius] (The free parameter is the scale radius.)
[10e] The NFW profile gives an expression for the density of this type of matter. The amount of a galaxy’s mass stored in this type of matter is typically much larger than the amount stored in baryons.
ANSWER: dark matter
