Analytical insight into dark matter subhalo boost factors for Sommerfeld-enhanced - and -wave -ray signals

Gaétan Facchinetti, Martin Stref, Thomas Lacroix +4

As searches for thermal and self-annihilating dark matter (DM) intensify, it becomes crucial to include as many relevant physical processes and ingredients as possible to refine si…

In-depth analysis of the clustering of dark matter particles around primordial black holes I: density profiles

Mathieu Boudaud, Thomas Lacroix, Martin Stref +2

Primordial black holes may have been produced in the early stages of the thermal history of the Universe after cosmic inflation. If so, dark matter in the form of elementary partic…

Towards a more rigorous treatment of uncertainties on the velocity distribution of dark matter particles for capture in stars

José Lopes, Thomas Lacroix, Ilídio Lopes

Dark matter (DM) capture in stars offers a rich phenomenology that makes it possible to probe a wide variety of particle DM scenarios in diverse astrophysical environments. In spit…

Looking for ultralight dark matter near supermassive black holes

Nitsan Bar, Kfir Blum, Thomas Lacroix +1

Measurements of the dynamical environment of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are becoming abundant and precise. We use such measurements to look for ultralight dark matter (ULDM),…

Remnants of Galactic subhalos and their impact on indirect dark matter searches

Martin Stref, Thomas Lacroix, Julien Lavalle

Dark matter subhalos, predicted in large numbers in the cold dark matter scenario, should have an impact on particle dark matter searches. Recent results show that tidal disruption…
