Probing Dark Matter Using Precision Measurements of Stellar Accelerations
Aakash Ravi, Nicholas Langellier, David F. Phillips +3
Dark matter comprises the bulk of the matter in the universe but its particle nature and cosmological origin remain mysterious. Knowledge of the dark matter density distribution in…
The dark matter interpretation of the 3.5-keV line is inconsistent with blank-sky observations
Christopher Dessert, Nicholas L. Rodd, Benjamin R. Safdi
Observations of nearby galaxies and galaxy clusters have reported an unexpected X-ray emission line around 3.5 kilo-electron volts (keV). Proposals to explain this line include dec…
Detecting Axion Dark Matter with Radio Lines from Neutron Star Populations
Benjamin R. Safdi, Zhiquan Sun, Alexander Y. Chen
It has been suggested that radio telescopes may be sensitive to axion dark matter that resonantly converts to radio photons in the magnetospheres surrounding neutron stars (NSs). I…
First Results from ABRACADABRA-10 cm: A Search for Sub-eV Axion Dark Matter
Jonathan L. Ouellet, Chiara P. Salemi, Joshua W. Foster +12
The axion is a promising dark matter candidate, which was originally proposed to solve the strong-CP problem in particle physics. To date, the available parameter space for axion a…
Statistical challenges in the search for dark matter
Sara Algeri, Melissa van Beekveld, Nassim Bozorgnia +19
The search for the particle nature of dark matter has given rise to a number of experimental, theoretical and statistical challenges. Here, we report on a number of these statistic…
Radio Signals from Axion Dark Matter Conversion in Neutron Star Magnetospheres
Anson Hook, Yonatan Kahn, Benjamin R. Safdi +1
We show that axion dark matter (DM) may be detectable through narrow radio lines emitted from neutron stars. The neutron star magnetosphere hosts a strong magnetic field and a plas…
