The impact of baryonic potentials on the gravothermal evolution of self-interacting dark matter haloes
Yi-Ming Zhong, Daneng Yang, Hai-Bo Yu
The presence of a central baryonic potential can have a significant impact on the gravothermal evolution of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) haloes. We extend a semi-analytical…
A Self-interacting Dark Matter Solution to the Extreme Diversity of Low-mass Halo Properties
Ethan O. Nadler, Daneng Yang, Hai-Bo Yu
The properties of low-mass dark matter (DM) halos appear to be remarkably diverse relative to cold, collisionless DM predictions, even in the presence of baryons. We show that self…
A Parametric Model for Self-Interacting Dark Matter Halos
Daneng Yang, Ethan O. Nadler, Hai-Bo Yu +1
We propose a parametric model for studying self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos. The model uses an analytical density profile, calibrated using a controlled N-body SIDM simula…
Heating Neutron Stars with Inelastic Dark Matter and Relativistic Targets
Gerardo Alvarez, Aniket Joglekar, Mehrdad Phoroutan-Mehr +1
The dense environment of neutron stars makes them an excellent target for probing dark matter interactions with the Standard Model. We study neutron star heating from capture of in…
Strong Dark Matter Self-interactions Diversify Halo Populations within and surrounding the Milky Way
Daneng Yang, Ethan O. Nadler, Hai-Bo Yu
We perform a high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way (MW)--like system, which includes a realistic Large Magellanic Cloud analog, using a large differential…
Snowmass Theory Frontier: Astrophysics and Cosmology
Daniel Green, Joshua T. Ruderman, Benjamin R. Safdi +84
We summarize progress made in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology over the past decade and areas of interest for the coming decade. This Report is prepared as the TF09 "Astrophy…
