Flaring of tidally compressed dark-matter clumps
Yacine Ali-Haïmoud, Ely D. Kovetz, Joseph Silk
We explore the physics and observational consequences of tidal compression events (TCEs) of dark-matter clumps (DMCs) by supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Our analytic calculations…
CosmoSpec: Fast and detailed computation of the cosmological recombination radiation from hydrogen and helium
Jens Chluba, Yacine Ali-Haimoud
We present the first fast and detailed computation of the cosmological recombination radiation released during the hydrogen (redshift z ~ 1300) and helium (z ~ 2500 and z ~ 6000) r…
Heating of Baryons due to Scattering with Dark Matter During the Dark Ages
Julian B. Muñoz, Ely D. Kovetz, Yacine Ali-Haïmoud
We explore the effects of elastic scattering between dark matter and baryons on the 21-cm signal during the dark ages. In particular, we consider a dark-matter---baryon interaction…
Constraints on dark matter interactions with standard model particles from CMB spectral distortions
Yacine Ali-Haïmoud, Jens Chluba, Marc Kamionkowski
We propose a new method to constrain elastic scattering between dark matter (DM) and standard model particles in the early Universe. Direct or indirect thermal coupling of non-rela…
Primordial non-gaussianity from the bispectrum of 21-cm fluctuations in the dark ages
Julian B. Muñoz, Yacine Ali-Haïmoud, Marc Kamionkowski
A measurement of primordial non-gaussianity will be of paramount importance to distinguish between different models of inflation. Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy obser…
