Anisotropic strong lensing as a probe of dark matter self-interactions
Birendra Dhanasingham, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Charlie Mace +2
Galaxy-scale strongly lensed systems have been shown to provide a unique technique for exploring the underlying physics of dark matter at sub-galactic scales. In the past, much att…
Milky Way satellite velocities reveal the Dark Matter power spectrum at small scales
Ivan Esteban, Annika H. G. Peter, Stacy Y. Kim
Dark Matter (DM) properties at small scales remain uncertain. Recent theoretical and observational advances have provided the tools to narrow them down. Here, we show for the first…
A quantitative comparison between velocity dependent SIDM cross sections constrained by the gravothermal and isothermal models
Shengqi Yang, Fangzhou Jiang, Andrew Benson +6
One necessary step for probing the nature of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) particles with astrophysical observations is to pin down any possible velocity dependence in the SI…
Astrophysical Tests of Dark Matter Self-Interactions
Susmita Adhikari, Arka Banerjee, Kimberly K. Boddy +11
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) arises generically in scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model that have dark sectors with light mediators or strong dynamics. The self-i…
A semi-analytic study of self-interacting dark-matter haloes with baryons
Fangzhou Jiang, Andrew Benson, Philip F. Hopkins +8
We combine the isothermal Jeans model and the model of adiabatic halo contraction into a simple semi-analytic procedure for computing the density profile of self-interacting dark-m…
Gravothermal solutions of SIDM halos: mapping from constant to velocity-dependent cross section
Shengqi Yang, Xiaolong Du, Zhichao Carton Zeng +4
The scale-free gravothermal fluid formalism has long proved effective in describing the evolution of self-interacting dark matter halos with a constant dark matter particle cross s…
