Self-interacting dark matter can explain diverse galactic rotation curves

A Kamada, M Kaplinghat, AB Pace, HB Yu - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
The rotation curves of spiral galaxies exhibit a diversity that has been difficult to understand
in the cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm. We show that the self-interacting dark matter …
