The Fermi gamma-ray spectrum of the inner galaxy: Implications for annihilating dark matter
Ilias Cholis, Gregory Dobler, Douglas P. Finkbeiner +3
Recently, a preliminary spectrum from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been presented for the inner galaxy (-30 < l < 30, -5 < b < 5), as well as the galactic center (-1 < l…
CMB Constraints on WIMP Annihilation: Energy Absorption During the Recombination Epoch
Tracy R. Slatyer, Nikhil Padmanabhan, Douglas P. Finkbeiner
We compute in detail the rate at which energy injected by dark matter annihilation heats and ionizes the photon-baryon plasma at z ~ 1000, and provide accurate fitting functions ov…
A Theory of Dark Matter
Nima Arkani-Hamed, Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Tracy R. Slatyer +1
We propose a comprehensive theory of dark matter that explains the recent proliferation of unexpected observations in high-energy astrophysics. Cosmic ray spectra from ATIC and PAM…
Superradiant scattering from a hydrodynamic vortex
T. R. Slatyer, C. M. Savage
We show that sound waves scattered from a hydrodynamic vortex may be amplified. Such superradiant scattering follows from the physical analogy between spinning black holes and hydr…
Statistical physics and stromatolite growth: new perspectives on an ancient dilemma
M T Batchelor, R V Burne, B I Henry +1
This paper outlines our recent attempts to model the growth and form of microbialites from the perspective of the statistical physics of evolving surfaces. Microbialites arise from…
