Diffuse cosmic gamma-rays at 1-20 MeV: A trace of the dark matter?
Kyle Lawson, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky
Several independent observations of the galactic core suggest hitherto unexplained sources of energy. The most well known case is the 511 keV line which has proven very difficult t…
A Novel Mechanism for Type-I Superconductivity in Neutron Stars
James Charbonneau, Ariel Zhitnitsky
We suggest a mechanism that may resolve a conflict raised by Link between the precession of a neutron star and the standard picture in which its core is composed of a mixture of a…
Width of the 511 KeV Line from the Bulge of the Galaxy
Ariel Zhitnitsky
In this paper I present the detail estimations for the width of the 511 keV line produced by a mechanism when dark matter is represented by macroscopically large dense nuggets. I a…
Cold Dark Matter as Compact Composite Objects
Ariel Zhitnitsky
Dark Matter (DM) being the vital ingredient in the cosmos, still remains a mystery. Standard assumption is that the collisionless cold dark matter (CCDM) particles are represented…
Neutron Stars as Type-I Superconductors
Kirk B. W. Buckley, Max A. Metlitski, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky
In a recent paper by Link, it was pointed out that the standard picture of the neutron star core composed of a mixture of a neutron superfluid and a proton type-II superconductor i…
