Mamon2,3 1Copernicus Astronomical Center, Bartycka 18, 00–716 Warsaw, Poland 2Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris (CNRS UPR 341), 98 bis Bd Arago, F–75014 Paris, France 3DAEC (CNRS UMR 8631), Observatoire de Paris, Place Jules Janssen, F–92195 Meudon, France 1 February 2008 ABSTRACT Using the standard dynamical theory of spherical systems, we calculate the properties of spherical galaxies and clusters whose density profiles obey the universal form first obtained in high resolution cosmological N -body simulations by Navarro, Frenk White. We adopt three models for the internal kinematics: isotropic velocities, con- stant anisotropy and increasingly radial Osipkov-Merritt anisotropy. Analytical solu- tions are found for the radial dependence of the mass, gravitational potential, velocity dispersion, energy and virial ratio and we test their variability with the concentration parameter describing the density profile and amount of velocity anisotropy. We also compute structural parameters, such as half-mass radius, effective radius and various measures of concentration. Finally, we derive projected quantities, the surface mass density and line-of-sight as well as aperture velocity dispersion, all of which can be directly applied in observational tests of current scenarios of structure formation. On the mass scales of galaxies, if constant mass-to-light is assumed, the NFW surface density profile is found to fit well Hubble-Reynolds laws. It is also well fitted by Se?rsic R1/m laws, for m ? 3, but in a much narrower range of m and with much larger effective radii than are observed. Assuming in turn reasonable values of the effective radius, the mass density profiles imply a mass-to-light ratio that increases
