Singularities in the Gravitational Capture of Dark Matter through Long-Range Interactions
Cristian Gaidau, Jessie Shelton
We re-examine the gravitational capture of dark matter (DM) through long-range interactions. We demonstrate that neglecting the thermal motion of target particles, which is often a…
Leak-in Dark Matter
Jared A. Evans, Cristian Gaidau, Jessie Shelton
We introduce leak-in dark matter, a novel out-of-equilibrium origin for the dark matter (DM) in the universe. We provide a comprehensive and unified discussion of a minimal, intern…
Dark matter heating of gas accreting onto Sgr A
Elizabeth R. Bennewitz, Cristian Gaidau, Thomas W. Baumgarte +1
We study effects of heating by dark matter (DM) annihilation on black hole gas accretion. We observe that, for reasonable assumptions about DM densities in spikes around supermassi…
A Solar System Test of Self-Interacting Dark Matter
Cristian Gaidau, Jessie Shelton
Dark matter (DM) self-interactions affect the gravitational capture of DM in the Sun and Earth differently as a simple consequence of the differing kinematics of collisions within…
