Stellar Wakes from Dark Matter Subhalos
Malte Buschmann, Joachim Kopp, Benjamin R. Safdi +1
We propose a novel method utilizing stellar kinematic data to detect low-mass substructure in the Milky Way's dark matter halo. By probing characteristic wakes that a passing dark…
A Search for Dark Matter in the Galactic Halo with HAWC
A. U. Abeysekara, A. M. Albert, R. Alfaro +100
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma-ray observatory is a wide field-of-view observatory sensitive to 500 GeV - 100 TeV gamma rays and cosmic rays. With its observations…
Revealing the Dark Matter Halo with Axion Direct Detection
Joshua W. Foster, Nicholas L. Rodd, Benjamin R. Safdi
The next generation of axion direct detection experiments may rule out or confirm axions as the dominant source of dark matter. We develop a general likelihood-based framework for…
Constraining a Thin Dark Matter Disk with Gaia
Katelin Schutz, Tongyan Lin, Benjamin R. Safdi +1
If a component of the dark matter has dissipative interactions, it could collapse to form a thin dark disk in our Galaxy that is coplanar with the baryonic disk. It has been sugges…
Comment on "Characterizing the population of pulsars in the Galactic bulge with the Large Area Telescope" [arXiv:1705.00009v1]
Richard Bartels, Dan Hooper, Tim Linden +4
The -LAT Collaboration recently presented a new catalog of gamma-ray sources located within the region around the Galactic Center~(Aj…
What the Milky Way's Dwarfs tell us about the Galactic Center extended excess
Ryan E. Keeley, Kevork N. Abazajian, Anna Kwa +2
The Milky Way's Galactic Center harbors a gamma-ray excess that is a candidate signal of annihilating dark matter. Dwarf galaxies remain predominantly dark in their expected commen…
