Effects of galaxy-halo alignment and adiabatic contraction on gravitational lens statistics

Quinn E. Minor, Manoj Kaplinghat

We study the strong gravitational lens statistics of triaxial cold dark matter (CDM) halos occupied by central early-type galaxies. We calculate the image separation distribution f…

The Most Dark Matter Dominated Galaxies: Predicted Gamma-ray Signals from the Faintest Milky Way Dwarfs

Louis E. Strigari, Savvas M. Koushiappas, James S. Bullock +4

We use kinematic data from three new, nearby, extremely low-luminosity Milky Way dwarf galaxies (Ursa Major II, Willman 1, and Coma Berenices) to constrain the properties of their…

MeV Dark Matter and Small Scale Structure

Dan Hooper, Manoj Kaplinghat, Louis E. Strigari +1

WIMPs with electroweak scale masses (neutralinos, etc.) remain in kinetic equilibrium with other particle species until temperatures approximately in the range of 10 MeV to 1 GeV,…

Redefining the Missing Satellites Problem

Louis E. Strigari, James S. Bullock, Manoj Kaplinghat +3

Numerical simulations of Milky-Way size Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos predict a steeply rising mass function of small dark matter subhalos and a substructure count that greatly outn…

Determining the Nature of Dark Matter with Astrometry

Louis E. Strigari, James S. Bullock, Manoj Kaplinghat

We show that measurements of stellar proper motions in dwarf spheroidal galaxies provide a powerful probe of the nature of dark matter. Allowing for general dark matter density pro…
