SHH method for SIDM: An SIDM-hydro hybrid method for simulating self-interacting dark matter

Sarah Schon, Michael Ryan, John Blakely +3

We present a new scheme to couple existing numerical methods for elastic self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) to the hydrodynamic equations via a continuous function of the local Kn…

A Lower Bound on the Mass of Compact Objects from Dissipative Dark Matter

James Gurian, Michael Ryan, Sarah Schon +2

We study the minimum mass of dark compact objects formed in dissipative dark-matter halos and show that the simple atomic-dark-matter model consistent with all current observations…

Exotic Compact Objects: The Dark White Dwarf

Michael Ryan, David Radice

Several dark matter models allow for the intriguing possibility of exotic compact object formation. These objects might have unique characteristics that set them apart from their b…

Molecular Chemistry for Dark Matter III: DarkKROME

Michael Ryan, Sarah Shandera, James Gurian +1

Dark matter that is dissipative may cool sufficiently to form compact objects, including black holes. Determining the abundance and mass spectrum of those objects requires an accur…

Molecular Chemistry for Dark Matter II: Recombination, Molecule Formation, and Halo Mass Function in Atomic Dark Matter

James Gurian, Donghui Jeong, Michael Ryan +1

Dissipative dark matter predicts rich observable phenomena that can be tested with future large-scale structure surveys. As a specific example, we study atomic dark matter, consist…

Molecular Chemistry for Dark Matter

Michael Ryan, James Gurian, Sarah Shandera +1

Molecular cooling is essential for studying the formation of sub-structure of dissipative dark-matter halos that may host compact objects such as black holes. Here, we analyze the…
