Self-Interacting Dark Matter: From Particle Physics Theories to Structure Formation Simulations
Martin Rosenlyst, Vinh Tran, Oliver Zier +7
We present a unified theory-to-simulation framework for self-interacting dark matter (SIDM), combining a self-contained introduction to its particle-physics foundations and represe…
Separating Dark Acoustic Oscillations from Astrophysics at Cosmic Dawn
Jo Verwohlt, Charlotte A. Mason, Julian B. Muñoz +3
The formation redshift and abundance of the first stars and galaxies is highly sensitive to the build up of low mass dark matter halos as well as astrophysical feedback effects whi…
Cosmological Structure Formation and Soliton Phase Transition in Fuzzy Dark Matter with Axion Self-Interactions
Philip Mocz, Anastasia Fialkov, Mark Vogelsberger +11
We investigate cosmological structure formation in Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) with an attractive self-interaction (SI) with numerical simulations. Such a SI would arise if the FDM bos…
Matching the mass function of Milky Way satellites in competing dark matter models
Mark R. Lovell, Jesús Zavala
Any successful model of dark matter must explain the diversity of observed Milky Way (MW) satellite density profiles, from very dense ultrafaints to large, low density satellites s…
Astrophysical Tests of Dark Matter Self-Interactions
Susmita Adhikari, Arka Banerjee, Kimberly K. Boddy +11
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) arises generically in scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model that have dark sectors with light mediators or strong dynamics. The self-i…
Constraining SIDM with halo shapes: revisited predictions from realistic simulations of early-type galaxies
Giulia Despali, Levi G. Walls, Simona Vegetti +3
We study the effect of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) and baryons on the shape of early-type galaxies (ETGs) and their dark matter haloes, comparing them to the predictions of…
