The effect of the LMC on the Milky Way system

E Vasiliev - Galaxies, 2023 - mdpi.com
We review the recent theoretical and observational developments concerning the interaction
of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the Milky Way and its neighbourhood. An …

Probing light dark matter through cosmic-ray cooling in active galactic nuclei

G Herrera, K Murase - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Recent observations of high-energy neutrinos from active galactic nuclei (AGN), NGC 1068
and TXS 0506+ 056, suggest that cosmic rays (CRs) are accelerated in the vicinity of the …

Sliding into DM: Determining the local dark matter density and speed distribution using only the local circular speed of the Galaxy

PG Staudt, JS Bullock, M Boylan-Kolchin… - … of Cosmology and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We use FIRE-2 zoom simulations of Milky Way size disk galaxies to derive easy-to-use
relationships between the observed circular speed of the Galaxy at the Solar location, vc …

Enhanced prospects for direct detection of inelastic dark matter from a non-galactic diffuse component

G Herrera, A Ibarra, S Shirai - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In some scenarios, the dark matter particle predominantly scatters inelastically with the
target, producing a heavier neutral particle in the final state. In this class of scenarios, the …

Enhancing Direct Detection of Higgsino Dark Matter

PW Graham, H Ramani, SSY Wong - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.07768, 2024 - arxiv.org
While much supersymmetric WIMP parameter space has been ruled out, one remaining
important candidate is Higgsino dark matter. The Higgsino can naturally realize …

Dark matter candidates and searches

N Bozorgnia, J Bramante, JM Cline… - Canadian Journal of …, 2024 - cdnsciencepub.com
Astrophysical observations suggest that most of the matter in the cosmos consists of a new
form that has not been observed on Earth. The nature and origin of this mysterious dark …

Deciphering the Kinematic Substructure of Local Dark Matter with LAMOST K Giants

H Zhu, R Guo, J Shen, J Liu, C Liu, XX Xue… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Numerical simulations indicate that correlations exist between the velocity distributions of
stars and dark matter (DM). We study the local DM velocity distribution based on these …

The Large Magellanic Cloud: expanding the low-mass parameter space of dark matter direct detection

J Reynoso-Cordova, N Bozorgnia… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate how the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) impacts the predicted signals in near-
future direct detection experiments for non-standard dark matter (DM) interactions, using the …

Probing the dark matter velocity distribution via daily modulation

M Heikinheimo, K Nordlund, S Sassi, K Tuominen - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We consider dark matter velocity distributions with an anisotropic component, and analyze
how the velocity structure can be probed in a solid-state ionization detector with no …
