Isolated Binary Black Hole Formation and Merger Rates from Galaxy Evolution

Tyler B. Smith, Manoj Kaplinghat

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration has detected over 150 confirmed gravitational wave events through O4a. Binary black hole (BBH) systems represent the overwhelming majority…

Semi-Analytic Modeling of Dark Matter Subhalo Encounters with Thin Stellar Streams: Statistical Predictions for GD-1-like Streams in CDM

Duncan K. Adams, Aditya Parikh, Oren Slone +3

Stellar streams from disrupted globular clusters are dynamically cold structures that are sensitive to perturbations from dark matter subhalos, allowing them in principle to trace…

Gravothermal collapse and the diversity of galactic rotation curves

M. Grant Roberts, Manoj Kaplinghat, Mauro Valli +1

The rotation curves of spiral galaxies exhibit a great diversity that challenge our understanding of galaxy formation and the nature of dark matter. Previous studies showed that in…

Robust inference of the Galactic centre gamma-ray excess spatial properties

Deheng Song, Christopher Eckner, Chris Gordon +6

The gamma-ray Fermi-LAT Galactic centre excess (GCE) has puzzled scientists for over 15 years. Despite ongoing debates about its properties, and especially its spatial distribution…

Numerical Challenges in Modeling Gravothermal Collapse in Self-Interacting Dark Matter Halos

Igor Palubski, Oren Slone, Manoj Kaplinghat +2

When dark matter has a large cross section for self scattering, halos can undergo a process known as gravothermal core collapse, where the inner core rapidly increases in density a…
