An Interpretation of Flat Density Cores of Clusters of Galaxies by Degeneracy Pressure of Fermionic Dark Matter: A Case Study of A1689

Flat density cores have been observed for a limited number of clusters of galaxies by strong gravitational lensing. Using a phenomenological equation of state (EOS) describing the full-to-partial degeneracy, we integrate the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium. The EOS is based on the assumption that the local kinetic energy of a …
