Gas surface densities (left column), Toomre Q parameters (middle column), and rotation velocities (right column) of self-gravitating (steady-state) gaseous disk hosted by quasi-isothermal DM halos with four masses MDM as indicated in the right-hand column. The spatially uniform gas temperature and the spin parameter are set to Tg = 104 K and α = 0.9, respectively. The horizontal dotted lines mark the adopted critical surface density for star formation Σc = 5   M pc2 (left column) and the critical Toomre parameter Qcr for gravitational stability (middle column). For every value of MDM, five models with different values of the seed density n0,0 = 25.0, 5.0, 1.0, 0.1, and 0.01 cm-3 from the uppermost to the lowermost line are considered. Higher n0,0 produce models with higher gas surface densities in the inner regions. The models that are susceptible to star formation according to the adopted star formation criteria are marked with red thick lines and the gas mass with number density higher than a critical value of 1.0 cm-3 is indicated in the left column for models plotted with solid red lines.
