Transient Radio Signatures from Neutron Star Encounters with QCD Axion Miniclusters
Thomas D. P. Edwards, Bradley J. Kavanagh, Luca Visinelli +1
The QCD axion is expected to form dense structures known as axion miniclusters if the Peccei-Quinn symmetry is broken after inflation. Miniclusters that have survived until today w…
Stellar Disruption of Axion Miniclusters in the Milky Way
Bradley J. Kavanagh, Thomas D. P. Edwards, Luca Visinelli +1
Axion miniclusters are dense bound structures of dark matter axions that are predicted to form in the post-inflationary Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking scenario. Although dense, min…
Integral X-ray constraints on sub-GeV Dark Matter
Marco Cirelli, Nicolao Fornengo, Bradley J. Kavanagh +1
Light Dark Matter (DM), defined here as having a mass between 1 MeV and about 1 GeV, is an interesting possibility both theoretically and phenomenologically, at one of the frontier…
Primordial Black Holes as a dark matter candidate
Anne M. Green, Bradley J. Kavanagh
The detection of gravitational waves from mergers of tens of Solar mass black hole binaries has led to a surge in interest in Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) as a dark matter candida…
Measuring the local Dark Matter density in the laboratory
Bradley J. Kavanagh, Timon Emken, Riccardo Catena
Despite strong evidence for the existence of large amounts of dark matter (DM) in our Universe, there is no direct indication of its presence in our own solar system. All estimates…
Detecting dark matter around black holes with gravitational waves: Effects of dark-matter dynamics on the gravitational waveform
Bradley J. Kavanagh, David A. Nichols, Gianfranco Bertone +1
A dark matter overdensity around a black hole may significantly alter the dynamics of the black hole's merger with another compact object. We consider here intermediate mass-ratio…
