Abstract: The Cold Dark Matter model faces many controversies at small scales, as simulations fail to reproduce the observed properties of dark matter (DM) halos. Since rival DM models differ on their predictions about the structure of DM halos, understanding their mass distribution is crucial for...

Most subjectivists have contended that these conditions should be ideal. One reason in favor of this idea is that when...

But the existence of these affective responses does not sit...
