Matter fluctuations that enter the horizon during the radiation dominated era, with masses less than about 1015 , grow only log a, because they are not in the gravitationally dominant component. But matter fluctuations that enter the horizon in the matterdominated era grow a.

The tidal debris of the Sagittarious dwarf galaxy constrains the shape of the Milky Way dark matter halo.
Recent work by David Law et al. nds a triaxial halo, in general "Of course," says Law, "Sagittarius is only one of many dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way, a will be important to see if these results hold up as precise orbits are agreement with measured for more of these galaxi the meantime, such a squashed dark-matter halo is one of the best explanations for the observed data." CDM.
The fact that the 'beachball' was squashed from the side came as a surprise: It suggests that the dark m halo and the disk of stars in the Milky Way are oriented roughly perpendicular to each other. "We exp some amount of flattening based on the predictions of the best dark-matter theories," said Law, "but th extent, and particularly the orientation, of the flattening was quite unexpected. We're pretty excited abo this, because it begs the question of how our galaxy formed in its present orientation."
Support for this work was provided by NASA through Hubble Fellowship grant #HF-01221.01 awarde the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Resear Astronomy, Inc., for NASA, under contract NAS 5-26555.

Cusps
The discovery of many faint Local Group dwarf galaxies is consistent with CDM predictions. Satellites, reionization, lensing, and Ly forest data imply that WDM must be Tepid or Cooler.
Triaxial dark matter halos, observational biases, and new simulations suggest that observed velocity structure of LSB and dSpiral galaxies are consistent with cuspy CDM halos. WDM doesnt resolve cusp issues. CDM simulations are increasingly able to form realistic spiral galaxies, as resolution improves and feedback becomes more realistic.

We predict that there is a population of low-luminosity dwarf galaxies with luminosities and stellar velocity dispersions that are similar to those of known ultrafaint dwarf galaxies but they have more extended stellar distributions (half light radii greater than about 100 pc) because they inhabit dark subhalos that are slightly less massive than their higher surface brightness counterparts. One implication is that the inferred common mass scale for Milky Way dwarfs may be an artifact of selection bias. A complete census of these objects will require deeper sky surveys, 30m-class follow-up telescopes, and more rened methods to identify extended, self-bound groupings of stars in the halo. 2

The Case Against Warm or Self-Interacting Dark Matter as Explanations for Cores in Low Surface Brightness Galaxies 2010, ApJ, 710L, 161
Rachel Kuzio de Naray, Gregory D. Martinez, James S. Bullock, Manoj Kaplinghat
Warm dark matter (WDM) and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) are often motivated by the inferred cores in the dark matter halos of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. We test thermal WDM, non-thermal WDM, and SIDM using high-resolution rotation curves of nine LSB galaxies. If the core size is set by WDM particle properties, then even the smallest cores we infer would require primordial phase space density values that are orders of magnitude smaller than lower limits obtained from the Lyman alpha forest power spectra. We also find that the dark matter halo core densities vary by a factor of about 30 while showing no systematic trend with the maximum rotation velocity of the galaxy. This strongly argues against the core size being directly set by large selfinteractions (scattering or annihilation) of dark matter. We therefore conclude that the inferred cores do not provide motivation toThe Case Against Warm Dark Matterover other dark prefer WDM or SIDM matter models.
We fit these dark matter models to the data and determine the halo core radii and central densities. While the minimum core size in WDM models is predicted to decrease with halo mass, we find that the inferred core radii increase with halo mass and also cannot be explained with a single value of the primordial phase space density.
