Feeding the Void: Co-evolution of the SIDM-seeded Black Hole and the dark halo after core-collapse
Zhichao Carton Zeng, Annika H. G. Peter, Louis E. Strigari +3
While the gravothermal collapse of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos provides a compelling mechanism for seeding supermassive black holes (BHs), the post-collapse macroscop…
The Sensitivity of Substructure Lensing to SIDM Core-collapse Model Variation
Charlie Mace, Birendra Dhanasingham, Zhichao Carton Zeng +4
Strong gravitational lensing has emerged as a powerful probe of dark matter substructure, and shows particularly strong promise as a test of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM). Th…
Bypassed Core Formation in Milky Way-Mass SIDM Halos: Implications for the Local Group Past-Pericenter Scenario
Zhichao Carton Zeng, Odelia V. Hartl, Louis E. Strigari +4
We consider a scenario in which the Milky Way (MW) and M31 have had a previous pericentric passage, and investigate its compatibility with self-interacting dark matter (SIDM). Usin…
MARVELously Dark: the density profile evolution of dwarf halos in velocity-dependent SIDM
Anna Engelhardt, Ferah Munshi, Annika H. G. Peter +6
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) with a sufficiently large cross section has been shown to naturally produce constant dark matter (DM) cores, as well as core-collapse, at the ce…
