Comparison with THINGS + simulations Rotation curve shape The rotation curves are scaled with respect to the V0.3 at R0.3 where dlogv/dlogr = 0.3. The scaled rotation curves rise too slowly to match the cuspy CDM halos. Instead, they are mostly consistent with core-like pseudo isothermal halo models showing a linear increase in the inner rotation curves. yti col ev noi t at o R Radius
Comparison with THINGS + Simulations DM density profiles The mean value of the slopes of 17 L.T. Galaxies except 5 THINGS dwarfs, α= 0.40 ± 0.07 is consistent with the value of α = 0.29 ± 0.07 found from 7 THINGS dwarf galaxies in Oh et al. (2011). cusps α ~ -1.0 This is in contrast with the steep slope of α -1.0 predicted from ΛCDM (DM only) simulations. yti s n e d MD The core-like DM distributions of L.T.

Summary High-quality multi-λ data (VLA HI, Spitzer 3.6μm and optical data) from LITTLE THINGS significantly reduce the observational uncertainties and allow us to derive a more accurate dark matter distribution The rotation curve shape and inner mass density slopes of LITTLE THINGS are mostly consistent with those of new simulations including baryonic feedback processes as well as THINGS dwarf galaxies. The mean of inner density slopes of 24 THINGS+LITTLE THINGS dwarf galaxies is α= 0.37±0.13 which is consistent with α= 0.2±0.2 found from LSB galaxies (de Blok et al. 2002) but significantly deviating from ~ 1.0 predicted from dark-matter-only ΛCDM simulations The central DM distribution of 24 dwarf galaxies from LITLE THINGS + THINGS appears to be cored. Low mass dwarf galaxies will be the key for the complete discussion of the cusp/core controversy.
