Heating Neutron Stars with Inelastic Dark Matter and Relativistic Targets
Gerardo Alvarez, Aniket Joglekar, Mehrdad Phoroutan-Mehr +1
The dense environment of neutron stars makes them an excellent target for probing dark matter interactions with the Standard Model. We study neutron star heating from capture of in…

Density spikes near black holes in self-interacting dark matter halos and indirect detection constraints
Gerardo Alvarez, Hai-Bo Yu
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) naturally gives rise to a cored isothermal density profile, which is favored in observations of many dwarf galaxies. The dark matter distributio…

Astrophysical probes of inelastic dark matter with a light mediator
Gerardo Alvarez, Hai-Bo Yu
We consider an inelastic dark matter model, where a fermion is charged under a broken U(1) gauge symmetry, and introduce a tiny Majorana mass term to split the fermion into two sta…
