Dark halos built of scalar gravitons: numerical study
In a previous article due to one of the present authors (YFP), an extension to General Relativity, violating general covariance to the residual unimodular one, was proposed. As a manifestation of such a violation, there appears the (massive) scalar graviton in addition to the massless tensor one. The former was proposed as a candidate on the dark matter in the Universe. In a subsequent article (Yu. F. Pirogov, MPLA 24, 3239, 2009;arXiv:0909.3311 [gr-qc]), an application of the extension was developed. Particularly, a regular solution to the static spherically symmetric equations in empty space was studied by means of analytical methods. This solution was proposed as a prototype model for the galaxy soft-core dark halos, with the coherent scalar-graviton field as dark matter. The present report is a supplement to the aforementioned article. The statements of the latter are verified and visualized by means of numerical analysis and symbolic calculations. The nice validity of analytical results is found.
