Cosmic-ray cooling by dark matter in astrophysical jets

Dimitrios Kantzas, Francesca Calore, Marco Chianese

Astrophysical jets from powerful active galactic nuclei (AGN) have recently been proposed as promising probes of dark matter (DM) in the sub-GeV mass range. AGN launch relativistic…

Dark photon dark matter from flattened axion potentials

Hong-Yi Zhang, Paola Arias, Andrew Cheek +3

Dark photons can be resonantly produced in the early universe via their coupling to an oscillating axion field. However, this mechanism typically requires large axion--dark photon…
