Figure 2.
These figures plot the posteriors for the scaled core radius of the cored NFW model (rc/rS) and the Einasto index of the Einasto model (n). Interestingly, the constraints on the common halo shape parameters for the cored NFW and Einasto models indicate a more cuspy common halo shape. However, this study does not allow for different halo profile shapes among the galaxies, but rather imposes a common shape among the full sample. Thus, these results should be viewed as the aggregate solution to the full sample rather than a statement about any individual halo shape. Even so, this is an interesting result given recent literature (see Section 5).
