Complementary Planetary Spectroscopy Probes of Dark Matter
Carlos Blanco, Rebecca K. Leane, Marianne Moore +1
We investigate dark matter (DM) interactions via spectroscopic signatures of energy injection in planetary environments. We develop a general framework to account for how DM energy…

Search for Dark Matter Induced Airglow in Planetary Atmospheres
Carlos Blanco, Rebecca K. Leane, Marianne Moore +1
We point out that dark matter can illuminate planetary skies via ultraviolet airglow. Dark matter annihilation products can excite molecular hydrogen, which then deexcites to produ…

Sub-GeV Dark Matter Detection with Dark Rates in Liquid Scintillators
Lillian Santos-Olmsted, Rebecca K. Leane, Carlos Blanco +1
It was recently shown that standard sub-GeV dark matter candidates can be effectively probed by large neutrino observatories via annual modulation of the total photomultiplier hit…
