The Case Against Warm or Self-Interacting Dark Matter as Explanations for Cores in Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

Rachel Kuzio de Naray, Gregory D. Martinez, James S. Bullock +1

Warm dark matter (WDM) and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) are often motivated by the inferred cores in the dark matter halos of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. We test…

Stealth Galaxies in the Halo of the Milky Way

James S. Bullock, Kyle R. Stewart, Manoj Kaplinghat +2

We predict that there is a population of low-luminosity dwarf galaxies orbiting within the halo of the Milky Way that have surface brightnesses low enough to have escaped detection…

Accurate masses for dispersion-supported galaxies

Joe Wolf, Gregory D. Martinez, James S. Bullock +5

We derive an accurate mass estimator for dispersion-supported stellar systems and demonstrate its validity by analyzing resolved line-of-sight velocity data for globular clusters,…

Observing the Evolution of the Universe

James Aguirre, Alexandre Amblard, Amjad Ashoorioon +172

How did the universe evolve? The fine angular scale (l>1000) temperature and polarization anisotropies in the CMB are a Rosetta stone for understanding the evolution of the univers…

The Origin of the Universe as Revealed Through the Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background

S. Dodelson, R. Easther, S. Hanany +61

Modern cosmology has sharpened questions posed for millennia about the origin of our cosmic habitat. The age-old questions have been transformed into two pressing issues primed for…

Dwarf Galaxies in 2010: Revealing Galaxy Formation's Threshold and Testing the Nature of Dark Matter

James S. Bullock, Manoj Kaplinghat, Andrew Fruchter +4

Over the past five years, searches in Sloan Digital Sky Survey data have more than doubled the number of known dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, and have revealed a popula…
