The and tensions necessitate early and late time changes to CDM

Steven J. Clark, Kyriakos Vattis, JiJi Fan +1

An only early or only late time alteration to CDM has been inadequate at resolving both the and tensions simultaneously; however, a combination of early and late tim…

Deep learning the astrometric signature of dark matter substructure

Kyriakos Vattis, Michael W. Toomey, Savvas M. Koushiappas

We study the application of machine learning techniques for the detection of the astrometric signature of dark matter substructure. In this proof of principle a population of dark…

Could the 2.6 object in GW190814 be a primordial black hole?

Kyriakos Vattis, Isabelle S. Goldstein, Savvas M. Koushiappas

On June 20, 2020, the LIGO-Virgo collaboration announced the discovery of GW190814, a gravitational wave event originating from a binary system merger between a black hole of mass…

Cosmological constraints on late-universe decaying dark matter as a solution to the tension

Steven J. Clark, Kyriakos Vattis, Savvas M. Koushiappas

It has been suggested that late-universe dark matter decays can alleviate the tension between measurements of in the local universe and its value inferred from cosmic microwa…

Late universe decaying dark matter can relieve the H_0 tension

Kyriakos Vattis, Savvas M. Koushiappas, Abraham Loeb

We study the cosmological effects of two-body dark matter decays where the products of the decay include a massless and a massive particle. We show that if the massive daughter par…

Self-interacting dark matter constraints in a thick dark disk scenario

Kyriakos Vattis, Savvas M. Koushiappas

A thick dark matter disk is predicted in cold dark matter simulations as the outcome of the interaction between accreted satellites and the stellar disk in Milky Way sized halos. W…

Solving the Vlasov equation in two spatial dimensions with the Schrödinger method

Michael Kopp, Kyriakos Vattis, Constantinos Skordis

We demonstrate that the Vlasov equation describing collisionless self-gravitating matter may be solved with the so-called Schrödinger method (ScM). With the ScM, one solves the Sch…
