Amplified J-factors in the Galactic Center for velocity-dependent darkmatter annihilation in FIRE simulations
Daniel McKeown, James S. Bullock, Francisco J. Mercado +6
We use FIRE-2 zoom cosmological simulations of Milky Way size galaxy halos to calculate astrophysical J-factors for dark matter annihilation and indirect detection studies. In addi…
Via Machinae: Searching for Stellar Streams using Unsupervised Machine Learning
David Shih, Matthew R. Buckley, Lina Necib +1
We develop a new machine learning algorithm, Via Machinae, to identify cold stellar streams in data from the Gaia telescope. Via Machinae is based on ANODE, a general method that u…
Substructure at High Speed II: The Local Escape Velocity and Milky Way Mass with Gaia DR2
Lina Necib, Tongyan Lin
Measuring the escape velocity of the Milky Way is critical in obtaining the mass of the Milky Way, understanding the dark matter velocity distribution, and building the dark matter…
Substructure at High Speed I: Inferring the Escape Velocity in the Presence of Kinematic Substructure
Lina Necib, Tongyan Lin
The local escape velocity provides valuable inputs to the mass profile of the Galaxy, and requires understanding the tail of the stellar speed distribution. Following Leonard …
Dissipative Dark Matter on FIRE: I. Structural and kinematic properties of dwarf galaxies
Xuejian Shen, Philip F. Hopkins, Lina Necib +3
We present the first set of cosmological baryonic zoom-in simulations of galaxies including dissipative self-interacting dark matter (dSIDM). These simulations utilize the Feedback…
