The Gamma-Ray Luminosity Function of Millisecond Pulsars and Implications for the GeV Excess

Dan Hooper, Gopolang Mohlabeng

It has been proposed that a large population of unresolved millisecond pulsars (MSPs) could potentially account for the excess of GeV-scale gamma-rays observed from the region surr…

Stochastic mass-reconstruction: a new technique to reconstruct resonance masses of heavy particles decaying into tau lepton pairs

Sho Maruyama

The invariant mass of tau lepton pairs turns out to be smaller than the resonant mass of their mother particle and the invariant mass distribution is stretched wider than the width…

Physical properties of star clusters in the outer LMC as observed by the Dark Energy Survey

A. Pieres, B. Santiago, E. Balbinot +57

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) harbors a rich and diverse system of star clusters, whose ages, chemical abundances, and positions provide information about the LMC history of sta…

The Effects of Dark Matter Annihilation on Cosmic Reionization

Alexander A. Kaurov, Dan Hooper, Nickolay Y. Gnedin

We revisit the possibility of constraining the properties of dark matter (DM) by studying the epoch of cosmic reionization. Previous studies have shown that DM annihilation was unl…
