The Role of Dark Matter in Driving Disk Perturbations: Application to LMC-SMC Like Galaxy Interactions
Himansh Rathore, Hayden R. Foote, Gurtina Besla +6
Dark-matter (DM) models predict that satellite galaxies distort their host's DM halo. As such, both the satellite and the distorted halo can perturb the host's stellar disk. The LM…
Gravity Probe-DM: The Gravitational Laboratory for Dark Matter
Yu-Dai Tsai, Hayden R. Foote
Dark matter is inferred gravitationally across the Universe but has not been detected within the Solar System. The Sun inevitably focuses incident unbound dark matter into an irred…
Mapping the Distorted Dark Matter Distribution of the LMC-SMC System Prior to Milky Way Infall with Basis Function Expansions
Hayden R. Foote, Himansh Rathore, Gurtina Besla +6
The SMC orbits within the LMC's dark matter (DM) halo in a 1:10 mass-ratio encounter. The LMC:Milky Way (MW) interaction is also 1:10, and is expected to perturb the MW…
Segue 2 Recently Collided with the Cetus-Palca Stream: New Opportunities to Constrain Dark Matter in an Ultra-Faint Dwarf
Hayden R. Foote, Gurtina Besla, Nicolás Garavito-Camargo +7
Stellar streams in the Milky Way are promising detectors of low-mass dark matter (DM) subhalos predicted by CDM. Passing subhalos induce perturbations in streams that indicate t…
Structure, Kinematics, and Observability of the Large Magellanic Cloud's Dynamical Friction Wake in Cold vs. Fuzzy Dark Matter
Hayden R. Foote, Gurtina Besla, Philip Mocz +7
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) will induce a dynamical friction (DF) wake on infall to the Milky Way (MW). The MW's stellar halo will respond to the gravity of the LMC and the da…
RomAndromeda: The Roman Survey of the Andromeda Halo
Arjun Dey, Joan Najita, Carrie Filion +50
As our nearest large neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy provides a unique laboratory for investigating galaxy formation and the distribution and substructure properties of dark matter…
Mass Segregation in Eccentric Nuclear Disks: Enhanced Tidal Disruption Event Rates for High Mass Stars
Hayden R. Foote, Aleksey Generozov, Ann-Marie Madigan
Eccentric nuclear disks (ENDs) are a type of star cluster in which the stars lie on eccentric, apsidally-aligned orbits in a disk around a central supermassive black hole (SMBH). T…
