We perform an extensive review of the numerous studies and methods used to determine
the total mass of the Milky Way. We group the various studies into seven broad classes …

We present an in-depth exploration of the phenomenon of dynamical friction in a universe
where the dark matter is composed entirely of so-called Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM), ultralight …

Using N-body simulations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC's) passage through the Milky
Way (MW), tailored to reproduce observed kinematic properties of both galaxies, we show …

Studying our Galaxy, the Milky Way (MW), gives us a close-up view of the interplay between
cosmology, dark matter, and galaxy formation. In the next decade our understanding of the …

Despite efforts over several decades, direct-detection experiments have not yet led to the
discovery of the dark matter (DM) particle. This has led to increasing interest in alternatives …
