Self-annihilating dark matter and the CMB: reionizing the Universe and constraining cross sections
Fabio Iocco
I summarize the recent advances in determining the effects of self-annihilating WIMP dark matter on the modification of the recombination history, at times earlier than the formati…
An idea for detecting capture dominated Dark Stars
Fabio Iocco
I discuss an idea which could lead to a methodology for testing the effects of WIMP DM scattering and capture onto primordial stars. It relies on the effects of "life-prolongation"…
CMB constraints on Dark Matter models with large annihilation cross-section
S. Galli, F. Iocco, G. Bertone +1
The injection of secondary particles produced by Dark Matter (DM) annihilation around redshift 1000 would inevitably affect the process of recombination, leaving an imprint on Cosm…
WIMP annihilation effects on primordial star formation
E. Ripamonti, F. Iocco, A. Bressan +3
We study the effects of WIMP dark matter (DM) annihilations on the thermal and chemical evolution of the gaseous clouds where the first generation of stars in the Universe is forme…
