Ubiquitous Corotation of Dark Matter Halos: Implications for Direct Detection
Dylan Folsom, Carlos Blanco, Mariangela Lisanti +1
Cosmological simulations have recently begun to quantify the halo-to-halo variance in the phase-space distribution of dark matter around the Sun. We use a sample of nearly one hund…
Semi-analytic Inference of Satellite Densities in the Cold Dark Matter Model Part II. Implications for Dark Matter Indirect Detection Constraints
Kailash Raman, Dylan Folsom, Manoj Kaplinghat +2
The paper updates the astrophysical J‑factors for Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies using a calibrated semi‑analytic satellite model and new stellar kinematic data, and shows how…
Semi-analytic Inference of Satellite Densities in the Cold Dark Matter Model Part I. Comparison to Ultra-faint Dwarf Kinematics
Kailash Raman, Dylan Folsom, Manoj Kaplinghat +2
The paper uses a semi‑analytic model of Milky Way satellite galaxies to predict their dark‑matter density profiles and compares these predictions to measurements of stellar velocit…
How to Build an Empirical Speed Distribution for Dark Matter in the Solar Neighborhood
Tal Shpigel, Dylan Folsom, Mariangela Lisanti +3
The dark matter flux in a direct detection experiment depends on its local speed distribution. This distribution has been inferred from simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies, but…
Galactic Amnesia: The Information Washout of the Milky Way Merger History
Lina Necib, Dylan Folsom, Elliot Y. Davies +2
The merger history of a galaxy leaves imprints on its present-day stellar chemodynamics, yet dynamical processes progressively erase this record. We ask: how far back in time, and…
Dark Matter Velocity Distributions for Direct Detection: Astrophysical Uncertainties are Smaller Than They Appear
Dylan Folsom, Carlos Blanco, Mariangela Lisanti +3
The sensitivity of direct detection experiments depends on the phase-space distribution of dark matter near the Sun, which can be modeled theoretically using cosmological hydrodyna…
