This paper is concerned with constraint minimizers of an $L^2-$critical minimization problem (1) in $\mathbb{R}^N$ ($N≥ 1$) under an $L^2-$subcritical perturbation. We prove that the problem admits minimizers with mass $ρ^\frac{N}{2}$ if and only if $0≤ρ < ρ^*: = \|Q\|^{\frac{4}{N}}_2 $ for $b≥0$ and $0 < ρ ≤ρ^*$ for $b < 0$, where the constant $b$ comes from the coefficient of the perturbation term, and $Q$ is the unique positive radically symmetric solution of $Δ u(x)-u(x)+u^{1+\frac{4}{N}}(x) = 0$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$. Furthermore, we analyze rigorously the concentration behavior of minimizers as $ρ \nearrow ρ^*$ for the case where $b>0$, which shows that the concentration rates are determined by the subcritical perturbation, instead of the local profiles of the potential $V(x)$.

Keywords: Gross-Pitaevskii functional, subcritical perturbation, minimizers, energy estimate, mass concentration.
