Dark Matter in Draco and Boötes I: Hints of a Core in an Ultra-Faint Dwarf from Simulation-Based Inference

Tri Nguyen, Lina Necib, Ting S. Li +8

The density profiles of dwarf spheroidal galaxies are among the most sensitive probes of dark matter physics, yet extracting them from noisy stellar kinematics remains a fundamenta…

Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1): The geometry of dark matter halos from extragalactic streams

Euclid Collaboration, N. Starkman, J. Nibauer +295

Wide-field surveys like Euclid mark a new era of extragalactic stellar stream studies. With a large number of streams, it is now possible to constrain the dark matter halos of gala…

Reconstructing Galactic Gravitational Potentials from Stellar Kinematics with Physics-Informed Neural Networks

Charlotte Myers, Nathaniel Starkman, Lina Necib

The gravitational potential of a galaxy encodes its mass distribution, formation history, and dark matter halo structure. Accurate potential models are therefore critical for inter…

The Dynamics of Old Inner Galaxy Stars in Milky Way-mass Galaxies Using FIRE-2 Simulations

Emma Tasso, Madeline Lucey, Robyn Sanderson +2

Understanding how galaxies like the Milky Way assembled over cosmic time remains a central question in astrophysics. Understanding the processes that shaped their formation and evo…

How to Build an Empirical Speed Distribution for Dark Matter in the Solar Neighborhood

Tal Shpigel, Dylan Folsom, Mariangela Lisanti +3

The dark matter flux in a direct detection experiment depends on its local speed distribution. This distribution has been inferred from simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies, but…

Mergers Matter: Gravothermal Collapse in Dwarf Halos with Self-Interacting Dark Matter

Maya Silverman, Abdelaziz Hussein, Arpit Arora +8

Self-Interacting Dark Matter (SIDM) models with large cross sections at relative velocities below can be tested with dwarf galaxy observations. We ana…
