The impact of dark matter decays and annihilations on the formation of the first structures
E. Ripamonti, M. Mapelli, A. Ferrara
We derive the effects of DM decays and annihilations on structure formation. We consider moderately massive DM particles (sterile neutrinos and light DM), as they are expected to g…

Intergalactic medium heating by dark matter
E. Ripamonti, M. Mapelli, A. Ferrara
We derive the evolution of the energy deposition in the intergalactic medium (IGM) by dark matter (DM) decays/annihilations for both sterile neutrinos and light dark matter (LDM) p…

Impact of dark matter decays and annihilations on reionization
M. Mapelli, A. Ferrara, E. Pierpaoli
One of the possible methods to distinguish among various dark matter candidates is to study the effects of dark matter decays. We consider four different dark matter candidates (li…
