SHH method for SIDM: An SIDM-hydro hybrid method for simulating self-interacting dark matter

Sarah Schon, Michael Ryan, John Blakely +3

We present a new scheme to couple existing numerical methods for elastic self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) to the hydrodynamic equations via a continuous function of the local Kn…

Supermassive black hole seeds from sub-keV dark matter

Avi Friedlander, Sarah Schon, Aaron C. Vincent

Quasars observed at redshifts are powered by supermassive black holes which are too large to have grown from early stellar remnants without efficient super-Eddington…

A Lower Bound on the Mass of Compact Objects from Dissipative Dark Matter

James Gurian, Michael Ryan, Sarah Schon +2

We study the minimum mass of dark compact objects formed in dissipative dark-matter halos and show that the simple atomic-dark-matter model consistent with all current observations…

Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter in the Context of Extra Dimensions

Avi Friedlander, Katherine J. Mack, Sarah Schon +2

Theories of large extra dimensions (LEDs) such as the Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos & Dvali scenario predict a "true" Planck scale near the TeV scale, while the observed $M_{p…

Detecting Composite Dark Matter with Long Range and Contact Interactions in Gas Clouds

Amit Bhoonah, Joseph Bramante, Sarah Schon +1

Cold interstellar gas clouds provide an exciting new method to discover dark matter. Their immense size makes them uniquely sensitive to interactions from the heaviest, most rarefi…

Galactic Center Gas Clouds and Novel Bounds on Ultra-Light Dark Photon, Vector Portal, Strongly Interacting, Composite, and Super-Heavy Dark Matter

Amit Bhoonah, Joseph Bramante, Fatemeh Elahi +1

Cold gas clouds recently discovered hundreds of parsecs from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy have the potential to detect dark matter. With a detailed treatment of gas cloud mic…

Calorimetric Dark Matter Detection With Galactic Center Gas Clouds

Amit Bhoonah, Joseph Bramante, Fatemeh Elahi +1

We demonstrate that dark matter heating of gas clouds hundreds of parsecs from the Milky Way Galactic center provides a powerful new test of dark matter interactions. To illustrate…

Dark Matter Annihilation in the Circumgalactic Medium at High Redshifts

Sarah Schon, Katherine J. Mack, Stuart B. Wyithe

Annihilating dark matter (DM) models offer promising avenues for future DM detection, in particular via modification of astrophysical signals. However when modelling such potential…

Dark Matter Annihilation in the First Galaxy Halos

Sarah Schon, Katherine J. Mack, Cassandra A. Avram +2

We investigate the impact of energy released from self-annihilating dark matter on heating of gas in the small, high-redshift dark matter halos thought to host the first stars. A S…
