Kinematic signatures of impulsive supernova feedback in dwarf galaxies
Jan D. Burger, Jesús Zavala, Laura V. Sales +3
Impulsive supernova feedback and non-standard dark matter models, such as self-interacting dark matter (SIDM), are the two main contenders for the role of the dominant core formati…
Endothermic self-interacting dark matter in Milky Way-like dark matter haloes
Stephanie O'Neil, Mark Vogelsberger, Saniya Heeba +9
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) offers the potential to mitigate some of the discrepancies between simulated cold dark matter (CDM) and observed galactic properties. We introdu…
Gravothermal collapse of Self-Interacting Dark Matter halos as the Origin of Intermediate Mass Black Holes in Milky Way satellites
Tamar Meshveliani, Jesús Zavala, Mark R. Lovell
Milky Way (MW) satellites exhibit a diverse range of internal kinematics, reflecting in turn a diverse set of subhalo density profiles. These profiles include large cores and dense…
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…
