The DREAMS Project: Disentangling the Impact of Halo-to-Halo Variance and Baryonic Feedback on Milky Way Dark Matter Speed Distributions

Ethan Lilie, Jonah C. Rose, Mariangela Lisanti +14

Direct detection experiments require information about the local dark matter speed distribution to produce constraints on dark matter candidates, or infer their properties in the e…

Delayed and Displaced: The Impact of Binary Interactions on Core-collapse SN Feedback

Tom Wagg, Julianne J. Dalcanton, Mathieu Renzo +7

Core-collapse supernova feedback models in hydrodynamical simulations typically assume that all stars evolve as single stars. However, the majority of massive stars are formed in b…
