Estimating the local dark matter density in a non-axisymmetric wobbling disc
S. Sivertsson, J. I. Read, H. Silverwood +6
The density of dark matter near the Sun is important for experiments hunting for dark matter particles in the laboratory, and for constraining the local shape of the Milky Way's da…
Stellar Accelerations and the Galactic Gravitational Field
Hamish Silverwood, Richard Easther
Typical stars in the Milky Way galaxy have velocities of hundreds of kilometres per second and experience gravitational accelerations of m s, resulting in ve…
The Local Dark Matter Density from SDSS-SEGUE G-dwarfs
Sofia Sivertsson, Hamish Silverwood, Justin I. Read +2
We derive the local dark matter density by applying the integrated Jeans equation method from Silverwood et al. (2016) to SDSS-SEGUE G-dwarf data processed and presented by Büdenbe…
A non-parametric method for measuring the local dark matter density
Hamish Silverwood, Sofia Sivertsson, Pascal Steger +2
We present a new method for determining the local dark matter density using kinematic data for a population of tracer stars. The Jeans equation in the -direction is integrated t…
