The Structure of Dissipative Dark Matter Halos
Ran Huo, Hai-Bo Yu, Yi-Ming Zhong
Dissipative dark matter self-interactions can affect halo evolution and change its structure. We perform a series of controlled N-body simulations to study impacts of the dissipati…
Astrophysical probes of inelastic dark matter with a light mediator
Gerardo Alvarez, Hai-Bo Yu
We consider an inelastic dark matter model, where a fermion is charged under a broken U(1) gauge symmetry, and introduce a tiny Majorana mass term to split the fermion into two sta…
Relativistic capture of dark matter by electrons in neutron stars
Aniket Joglekar, Nirmal Raj, Philip Tanedo +1
Dark matter can capture in neutron stars and heat them to observable luminosities. We study relativistic scattering of dark matter on highly degenerate electrons. We develop a Lore…
Dark Matter Cores and Cusps in Spiral Galaxies and their Explanations
Manoj Kaplinghat, Tao Ren, Hai-Bo Yu
We compare proposed solutions to the core vs cusp issue of spiral galaxies, which has also been framed as a diversity problem, and demonstrate that the cuspiness of dark matter hal…
Gaussian Processes, Median Statistics, Milky Way Rotation Curves
Hai Yu, Aman Singal, Jacob Peyton +2
We use the Iocco et al. (2015) compilation of 2,780 circular velocity measurements to analyze the Milky Way rotation curve. We find that the error bars for individual measurements…
Probing the Fundamental Nature of Dark Matter with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope
Alex Drlica-Wagner, Yao-Yuan Mao, Susmita Adhikari +97
Astrophysical and cosmological observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. Future observations with Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST…
