The effectiveness of exoplanets and Brown Dwarfs as sub-GeV Dark Matter detectors
Cosmin Ilie, Caleb Levy, Jared Diks
In this work we demonstrate that Dark Matter (DM) evaporation severely hinders the effectiveness of exoplanets and Brown Dwarfs as sub-GeV DM probes. Moreover, we find useful analy…
UHZ1 and the other three most distant quasars observed: possible evidence for Supermassive Dark Stars
Cosmin Ilie, Katherine Freese, Andreea Petric +1
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has recently uncovered a new record-breaking quasar, UHZ1, at a redshift of . This discovery continues JWST's trend of confronting th…
Detectability of Supermassive Dark Stars with the Roman Space Telescope
Saiyang Zhang, Cosmin Ilie, Katherine Freese
The first bright objects to form in the Universe at redshift might have been Dark Stars, made primarily of hydrogen and helium but powered by dark matter. In this st…
Supermassive Dark Star candidates seen by JWST?
Cosmin Ilie, Jillian Paulin, Katherine Freese
The first generation of stars in the Universe is yet to be observed. There are two leading theories for those objects that mark the beginning of the cosmic dawn: hydrogen burning P…
