Towards a more rigorous treatment of uncertainties on the velocity distribution of dark matter particles for capture in stars
José Lopes, Thomas Lacroix, Ilídio Lopes
Dark matter (DM) capture in stars offers a rich phenomenology that makes it possible to probe a wide variety of particle DM scenarios in diverse astrophysical environments. In spit…
Obtaining Precision Constraints on Modified Gravity with Helioseismology
Ippocratis D. Saltas, Ilídio Lopes
We propose helioseismology as a new, precision probe of fifth forces at astrophysical scales, and apply it on the most general scalar-tensor theories for dark energy, known as Dege…
The Sterile-Active Neutrino Flavor Model: the Imprint of Dark Matter on the Electron Neutrino Spectra
Ilídio Lopes
Contact interactions between sterile neutrinos and dark matter particles in a hidden sector have been suggested as a good solution to simultaneously resolve the dark matter problem…
White dwarfs and revelations
Ippocratis D. Saltas, Ignacy Sawicki, Ilidio Lopes
We use the most recent, complete and independent measurements of masses and radii of white dwarfs in binaries to bound the class of non-trivial modified gravity theories, viable af…
New Limits on Thermally annihilating Dark Matter from Neutrino Telescopes
José Lopes, Ilídio Lopes
We used a consistent and robust solar model to obtain upper limits placed by neutrino telescopes, such as Ice- Cube and Super-Kamiokande, on the Dark Matter-nucleon scattering cros…
The Sun and stars: Giving light to dark matter
Jordi Casanellas, Ilídio Lopes
During the last century, with the development of modern physics in such diverse fields as thermodynamics, statistical physics, and nuclear and particle physics, the basic principle…
