High Energy Neutrinos As A Test of Leptophilic Dark Matter
Douglas Spolyar, Matthew Buckley, Katherine Freese +2
Recently, observations by PAMELA, the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope, and other cosmic ray experiments have generated a great deal of interest in dark matter (DM) particles which…
Compatibility of DAMA/LIBRA dark matter detection with other searches in light of new Galactic rotation velocity measurements
Christopher Savage, Katherine Freese, Paolo Gondolo +1
The DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA annual modulation data, which may be interpreted as a signal for the existence of weakly interacting dark matter (WIMPs) in our galactic halo, are re-ex…
Implications of primordial black holes on the first stars and the origin of the super--massive black holes
Cosimo Bambi, Douglas Spolyar, Alexander D. Dolgov +2
If the cosmological dark matter has a component made of small primordial black holes, they may have a significant impact on the physics of the first stars and on the subsequent for…
Dark Stars: Dark Matter in the First Stars leads to a New Phase of Stellar Evolution
Katherine Freese, Douglas Spolyar, Anthony Aguirre +4
The first phase of stellar evolution in the history of the universe may be Dark Stars, powered by dark matter heating rather than by fusion. Weakly interacting massive particles, w…
Dark Matter Capture in the First Stars: a Power Source and Limit on Stellar Mass
Katherine Freese, Douglas Spolyar, Anthony Aguirre
The annihilation of weakly interacting massive particles can provide an important heat source for the first (Pop. III) stars, potentially leading to a new phase of stellar evolutio…
The Effect of Dark Matter on the First Stars: A New Phase of Stellar Evolution
Katherine Freese, Paolo Gondolo, Douglas Spolyar
Dark matter (DM) in protostellar halos can dramatically alter the current theoretical framework for the formation of the first stars. Heat from supersymmetric DM annihilation can o…
