Abstract

A comparison of the virial parameters of galaxies and galaxy clusters (radius, density, and entropy function) in a wide range of masses, \({{10}^{6}} \leqslant {{M}_{{{\text{vir}}}}}{\text{/}}{{M}_{ \odot }} \leqslant {{10}^{{14}}}\), shows that these parameters are correlated and depend on the virial mass of an object in a regular way. For the observed galaxies and galaxy clusters the available estimates of virial parameters are quite close to each other and the values of reduced virial density Gρ are concentrated in a shallow interval \(0.5 \leqslant {{G}_{\rho }}{\text{/}}\langle {{G}_{\rho }}\rangle \leqslant 2\) around its mean value. This “virial” paradox sharpen when compared with simulations, in which the number of such objects is very small, and for the majority of dark matter halos these densities are ~50–100 times smaller. Our theoretical analysis shows possible reasons for this discrepancy of observations and simulations, pointing out its connection with the spectrum of cosmological perturbations. After some refinement, the considered data can be used to constrain models of cosmological inflation. A number of accompanying questions is discussed.
