We show that the resulting mass profiles, which are sensitve to $\Lambda$, are consistent with observations at the galactic and galaxy cluster scales. Our results suggest that dark matter mass profiles contain information about the cosmological constant in a non-trivial way.application/pdfenIn Copyrightastro-ph.COhep-phhep-thArticle - RefereedTakeuchi, T [0000-0002-3594-5149]
