Dark matter energy exchange in stars orbiting supermassive black holes
Stephan A. Meighen-Berger, R. Andrew Gustafson, Nicole F. Bell +3
Stars on tight orbits around the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center pass through regions where the dark matter~(DM) density may be strongly enhanced. We compute the orb…

Can local White Dwarfs constrain Dark Matter interactions?
Pooja Bhattacharjee, Sandra Robles, Stephan A. Meighen-Berger +1
We investigate whether nearby white dwarfs (WDs) can constrain dark matter (DM) interactions with ordinary matter. As experimental sensitivity improves, driven by the Gaia mission,…

Extending the Dark Matter Reach of Water Cherenkov Detectors using Jupiter
Sandra Robles, Stephan A. Meighen-Berger
We propose the first method for water Cherenkov detectors to constrain GeV-scale dark matter (DM) below the solar evaporation mass. While previous efforts have highlighted the Sun…
