Ultra-light dark matter

EGM Ferreira - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2021 - Springer
Ultra-light dark matter is a class of dark matter models (DM), where DM is composed by
bosons with masses ranging from 10^-24\, eV< m< eV 10-24 eV< m< eV. These models …

Small-scale structure of fuzzy and axion-like dark matter

JC Niemeyer - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2020 - Elsevier
Axion-like particle (ALP) dark matter shows distinctive behavior on scales where wavelike
effects dominate over self-gravity. Ultralight axions are candidates for fuzzy dark matter …

Fuzzy Dark Matter candidates from string theory

M Cicoli, V Guidetti, N Righi, A Westphal - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract String theory has been claimed to give rise to natural fuzzy dark matter candidates
in the form of ultralight axions. In this paper we revisit this claim by a detailed study of how …

Closing the window on fuzzy dark matter with the 21-cm signal

J Flitter, ED Kovetz - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Fuzzy dark matter (FDM) is a well-motivated candidate for dark matter (DM) as its tiny mass
and large de-Broglie wavelength suppress small-scale matter fluctuations, thereby solving …

A short introduction to reionization physics

TR Choudhury - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2022 - Springer
The epoch of reionization probes the state of our universe when the very first stars formed
and ionized the hydrogen atoms in the surrounding medium. Since the epoch has not yet …

possible that they might represent two manifestations of a single entity, as occurring in …

Imprints of fermionic and bosonic mixed dark matter on the 21-cm signal at cosmic dawn

SK Giri, A Schneider - Physical review D, 2022 - APS
The 21-cm signal from the epoch of cosmic dawn prior to reionization consists of a promising
observable to gain new insights into the dark matter (DM) sector. In this paper, we …

The 21-cm signal during the end stages of reionization
