Ubiquitous Corotation of Dark Matter Halos: Implications for Direct Detection
Dylan Folsom, Carlos Blanco, Mariangela Lisanti +1
Cosmological simulations have recently begun to quantify the halo-to-halo variance in the phase-space distribution of dark matter around the Sun. We use a sample of nearly one hund…
Semi-analytic Inference of Satellite Densities in the Cold Dark Matter Model Part II. Implications for Dark Matter Indirect Detection Constraints
Kailash Raman, Dylan Folsom, Manoj Kaplinghat +2
Dwarf galaxies provide excellent targets to search for signals of dark matter annihilation or decay. Using a calibrated semi-analytic model and the latest stellar kinematic data (p…
Semi-analytic Inference of Satellite Densities in the Cold Dark Matter Model Part I. Comparison to Ultra-faint Dwarf Kinematics
Kailash Raman, Dylan Folsom, Manoj Kaplinghat +2
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies are critical testing grounds for probing the limits of galaxy formation in the cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm. Employing a semi-analytic cosmological sa…
Dark Matter Velocity Distributions for Direct Detection: Astrophysical Uncertainties are Smaller Than They Appear
Dylan Folsom, Carlos Blanco, Mariangela Lisanti +3
The sensitivity of direct detection experiments depends on the phase-space distribution of dark matter near the Sun, which can be modeled theoretically using cosmological hydrodyna…
