Local Group dwarf galaxies as dark matter probes
G. Battaglia, J. M. Arroyo Polonio, R. Pascale +3
Unveiling the fundamental nature of non-baryonic dark matter (DM) has profound implications for our understanding of the Universe and of the physical laws that govern it. Its manif…
Portrait of a Galaxy on FIRE: Is the -bimodality a natural consequence of inside-out disc growth in a hierarchical formation scenario?
María Benito, Annaliina Aavik, Giuseppina Battaglia +7
The chemical dichotomy in the [/Fe]-[Fe/H] plane is a consequence of the complex processes underlying the formation and evolution of disc galaxies such as observed in the stella…
Exploring the Dark Universe: A European Strategy for Axions and other WISPs Discovery
Deniz Aybas, Francesca Calore, Michele Cicoli +17
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim (with 1 GeV) particles (WISPs) are a common feature of several extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The search…
On the detection of stellar wakes in the Milky Way: a deep learning approach
Sven Põder, Joosep Pata, María Benito +2
Due to poor observational constraints on the low-mass end of the subhalo mass function, the detection of dark matter (DM) subhalos on sub-galactic scales would provide valuable inf…
Dark Matter Halo Parameters from Overheated Exoplanets via Bayesian Hierarchical Inference
María Benito, Konstantin Karchev, Rebecca K. Leane +3
Dark Matter (DM) can become captured, deposit annihilation energy, and hence increase the heat flow in exoplanets and brown dwarfs. Detecting such a DM-induced heating in a populat…
