4. B. Moore et al., Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 310, 1147 (1999), have mentioned that annihilating CDM could alleviate the cusp crisis.
5. The invariance of the core density with respect to the mass of the halo has also recently been noted by C. Firmani et al., Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 315, L29 (2000).

8. For simplicity, we have neglected the fact that the initial time (when the structure collapses) will depend on halo mass.
