Snowmass Theory Frontier: Astrophysics and Cosmology
Daniel Green, Joshua T. Ruderman, Benjamin R. Safdi +84
We summarize progress made in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology over the past decade and areas of interest for the coming decade. This Report is prepared as the TF09 "Astrophy…
Astrophysical and Cosmological Probes of Dark Matter
Kimberly K. Boddy, Mariangela Lisanti, Samuel D. McDermott +16
While astrophysical and cosmological probes provide a remarkably precise and consistent picture of the quantity and general properties of dark matter, its fundamental nature remain…
Axion Instability Supernovae
Jeremy Sakstein, Djuna Croon, Samuel D. McDermott
New particles coupled to the Standard Model can equilibrate in stellar cores if they are sufficiently heavy and strongly coupled. In this work, we investigate the astrophysical con…
Cosmologically Degenerate Fermions
Marcela Carena, Nina M. Coyle, Ying-Ying Li +2
Dark matter (DM) with a mass below a few keV must have a phase space distribution that differs substantially from the Standard Model particle thermal phase space: otherwise, it wil…
Neutron Star Quantum Death by Small Black Holes
Pierce Giffin, John Lloyd, Samuel D. McDermott +1
Neutron stars can be destroyed by black holes at their center accreting material and eventually swallowing the entire star. Here we note that the accretion model adopted in the lit…
Dark Matter Daily Modulation With Anisotropic Organic Crystals
Carlos Blanco, Yonatan Kahn, Benjamin Lillard +1
Aromatic organic compounds, because of their small excitation energies ~ O(few eV) and scintillating properties, are promising targets for detecting dark matter of mass ~ O(few MeV…
