Reconciling the differences in the observations of the rotation curves of dwarf galaxies and their predicted values based on the ΛCDM.

Dark matter has been a puzzling subject that has intrigued astronomers to date. There have been a variety of models to explain its nature; the ΛCDM (Cold Dark Matter Model) is by far the best candidate. However, one of the major problems with this theory is the unreproducible diversity of the rotation curves of dwarf galaxies and significant discrepancy between the model predictions and observations. Using one of the newer generation cosmological simulations, FIRE-2 (Feedback in Realistic Environments), we test whether feedback mechanisms are the major cause of this disagreement. With these data, we will determine if the absence of active galactic nucleus feedback hinders or helps the inconsistencies seen in the dwarf rotation curves from simulations and observations.
