Caption: Figure 5.
Top: gas density and H I density profiles. Bottom: stellar surface density profile. Due to the DM core, the SIDM run has less centrally concentrated SF, instead displaying more numerous and smaller SF regions. The lower stellar surface density extends out to around 50 pc, only about 5% of the size of the DM core.
