The New Dark Matter Density Profile from JWST JADES Galaxies

Aritra Sanyal, Farook Rahaman

原始摘要(英文原文)· Original abstract
We present the first dark matter density profile derived directly from James Webb Space Telescope JADES Data Release~3 NIRSpec observations of $N = 587$ galaxies spanning the cosmic noon epoch $1.5 \leq z \leq 3.5$. From each NIRSpec G235M/G395M spectrum we extract the H$α$ emission-line velocity dispersion $σ_{\rm ha}$, stack galaxies in four redshift bins of $Δz = 0.5$, and reconstruct representative group rotation curves within the General Theory of Relativity. Fitting the four-parameter modified exponential model and deriving the exact GTR energy density, we reduce the profile to a compact $[2/3]$ Padé approximant with all coefficients determined in closed form from JWST observations. The profile is cusp-free, fully analytic, and redshift-dependent. Energy conditions, causality, and orbital stability are all satisfied. Most strikingly, the central density $ρ(0)$ varies by less than $15\%$ across $z = 1.5$--$3.5$ despite a $35\%$ decline in the asymptotic rotation velocity, revealing a universal dark matter core saturation density at cosmic noon decoupled from baryonic evolution.
