The density and mass profiles of a core-collapse SIDM halo with M200 = 1011 M (corresponding to the evolutionary stage indicated by the red star in Figure 1) and its CDM counterpart. SIDM and CDM profiles are shown in blue and black, respectively. Left: 3D density profiles, with the blue vertical dashed–dotted line marking the stitching radius, r1. Middle: 2D projected surface density profiles. Right: 2D enclosed mass profiles.
