Every Nearby Energetic Pulsar Is Surrounded by a Region of Inhibited Diffusion
Isabelle John, Tim Linden
The H.E.S.S. telescope has recently detected the total electron-plus-positron () flux up to 40 TeV, finding it to be a featureless and steeply-falling power-law above 1 TeV…
Strong Constraints on Dark Photon and Scalar Dark Matter Decay from INTEGRAL and AMS-02 data
Thong T. Q. Nguyen, Isabelle John, Tim Linden +1
We investigate the decay of bosonic dark matter with masses between 1 MeV and 2 TeV into Standard Model final states. We specifically focus on dark photons that kinetically mix wit…
INTEGRAL, eROSITA and Voyager Constraints on Light Bosonic Dark Matter: ALPs, Dark Photons, Scalars, and Vectors
Thong T. Q. Nguyen, Pedro De la Torre Luque, Isabelle John +3
The decay of light bosonic dark matter particles can produce a bright electron/positron () flux that can be strongly constrained by local Voyager observations of the direct…
Addressing the Impact of Solar Modulation Systematic Uncertainties on Cosmic-Ray Propagation Models
Isabelle John, Alessandro Cuoco, Mattia Di Mauro
We perform a comprehensive analysis of cosmic-ray propagation using the time-dependent AMS-02 flux measurements covering a full solar cycle, with particular emphasis on the role of…
First Observations of Solar Halo Gamma Rays Over a Full Solar Cycle
Tim Linden, Jung-Tsung Li, Bei Zhou +4
We analyze 15 years of Fermi-LAT data and produce a detailed model of the Sun's inverse-Compton scattering emission (solar halo), which is powered by interactions between ambient c…
Dark Branches of Immortal Stars at the Galactic Center
Isabelle John, Rebecca K. Leane, Tim Linden
We show that stars in the inner parsec of the Milky Way can be significantly affected by dark matter annihilation, producing population-level effects that are visible in a Hertzspr…
