Dark Matter and Sterile Neutrinos

Peter L. Biermann, Faustin Munyaneza

Dark matter has been recognized as an essential part of matter for over 70 years now, and many suggestions have been made, what it could be. Most of these ideas have centered on Co…

Limits on the dark matter particle mass from black hole growth in galaxies

Faustin Munyaneza

I review the properties of degenerate fermion balls and investigate the dark matter distribution at galactic centers using NFW, Moore and isothermal density profiles. I show that d…

Origin and physics of the highest energy cosmic rays: What can we learn from Radio Astronomy?

Peter L. Biermann, P. Gina Isar, Ioana C. Maris +2

Here in this lecture we will touch on two aspects, one the new radio methods to observe the effects of high energy particles, and second the role that radio galaxies play in helpin…

Degenerate sterile neutrino dark matter in the cores of galaxies

Faustin Munyaneza, Peter L. Biermann

We study the distribution of fermionic dark matter at the center of galaxies using NFW, Moore and isothermal density profiles and show that dark matter becomes degenerate for parti…

Fast Growth of Supermassive Black Holes in Galaxies

Faustin Munyaneza, Peter L. Biermann

We report on a calculation of the growth of the mass of supermassive black holes at galactic centers from dark matter and Eddington - limited baryonic accretion. Assuming that dark…

Comparison of the Black Hole and Fermion Ball Scenarios of the Galactic Center

Neven Bilic, Faustin Munyaneza, Gary B. Tupper +1

After discussion of the properties of degenerate fermion balls, we analyze the orbit of the star S0-1, which has a projected distance of ~5 light-days to Sgr A*, in the supermassiv…
