Strongest constraints on dark acoustic oscillations from the Lyman-alpha forest
Zhihan Yuan, Caleb Gemmell, Keir K. Rogers +4
We set the first constraints on a small-scale dark acoustic oscillation (DAO) in the linear matter power spectrum arising from dark sector interactions, with a full forward model o…
Probing Atomic Dark Matter with Stellar Streams in Milky Way-Mass Galaxies
Lucas S. Mandacarú Guerra, Stephanie O'Neil, Mariangela Lisanti +7
We present the first detailed analysis of the effects of dissipative dark matter on stellar streams. As a concrete example, we generate a cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in simulati…
The DREAMS Project: Disentangling the Impact of Halo-to-Halo Variance and Baryonic Feedback on Milky Way Satellite Galaxies
Jonah C. Rose, Mariangela Lisanti, Paul Torrey +24
We analyze the properties of satellite galaxies around 1,024 Milky Way-mass hosts from the DREAMS Project, simulated within a CDM cosmology. Utilizing the TNG galaxy-formation…
Constraining Dark Acoustic Oscillations with the High-Redshift UV Luminosity Function
Jared Barron, David Curtin, Hongwan Liu +2
Dark acoustic oscillations (DAOs) in the matter power spectrum can arise in many different dark sector models, and can imprint on a variety of cosmological observables. In this wor…
The DREAMS Project: A New Suite of 1,024 Simulations to Contextualize the Milky Way and Assess Physics Uncertainties
Jonah C. Rose, Mariangela Lisanti, Paul Torrey +17
We introduce a new suite of 1,024 cosmological and hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations of Milky Way-mass halos, run with Cold Dark Matter, as part of the DREAMS Project. Each simula…
Dissipative Dark Substructure: The Consequences of Atomic Dark Matter on Milky Way Analog Subhalos
Caleb Gemmell, Sandip Roy, Xuejian Shen +4
Using cosmological hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations, we explore the properties of subhalos in Milky Way analogs that contain a sub-component of Atomic Dark Matter (ADM). ADM diff…
