Compatibility Between the NFW Method and DM by Quantum Gravitation Theory in M33

Authors: Manuel Abarca Hernandez

This work aims to contrast the validity of the DMbQG (Dark Matter by Quantum Gravitation) theory in M33, as well as the compatibility of the virial mass results calculated by this theory and the NFW method. The data sources used are the papers by Kam and Carignan [1] and López Fune and Salucci [2]. The DMbQG theory was initially developed for the MW and M31 and was successfully verified with results published in Abarca, M. [4]. In Abarca, M. [3], it was demonstrated that this theory offered virial mass results for the MW and M31 similar to those calculated using the NFW method. In Abarca, M. [6], the compatibility of both methods was also demonstrated in six galaxies outside the Local Group.By applying the DMbQG theory using the rotation curve data published by Kam and Carignan [1] for M33, a virial mass of 1.3 E11 MSUN is obtained. In the framework of DMbQG this result is inconsistent, given that M33 contains only one-tenth of the baryonic mass of the MW. However, Kam and Carignan obtain a virial mass of 5 E11 MSUN using the NFW method, which is more than a half of the estimated virial mass for the MW. Since the DMbQG theory is based on the hypothesis that dark matter is a product of the propagation of the gravitational interaction according to a quantum gravity mechanism, it follows that this theory supports the fact that the ratio of baryonic mass to virial mass should be very similar in all galaxies, at approximately 10%. However, with the results from Kam and Carignan, this ratio for M33 drops to 2%.Given that the DMbQG theory can only be applied in the halo region where the baryonic mass is residual, a specific region of the rotation curve was selected for the application of the theory based on this criterion. Furthermore, two points were selected to calculate the two parameters associated with the NFW method. The selection criterion for these points ensured that both theories used the same data to calculate the virial mass.The results have been excellent, as the virial mass calculated with NFW has been reduced to 1.1 E11 MSUN, and the mass calculated with the Direct Mass formula is 1.3 E11 MSUN; these results differ by only 15%. Moreover, with these results, the baryonic mass to virial mass ratio is 9%, which is very similar to the typical ratio observed in most galaxies.
