Diversity in density profiles of self-interacting dark matter satellite halos
Felix Kahlhoefer, Manoj Kaplinghat, Tracy R. Slatyer +1
We present results from N-body simulations of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) subhalos, which could host ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies, inside a Milky-Way-like main hal…
Stellar Wakes from Dark Matter Subhalos
Malte Buschmann, Joachim Kopp, Benjamin R. Safdi +1
We propose a novel method utilizing stellar kinematic data to detect low-mass substructure in the Milky Way's dark matter halo. By probing characteristic wakes that a passing dark…
Constraining a Thin Dark Matter Disk with Gaia
Katelin Schutz, Tongyan Lin, Benjamin R. Safdi +1
If a component of the dark matter has dissipative interactions, it could collapse to form a thin dark disk in our Galaxy that is coplanar with the baryonic disk. It has been sugges…
