Diffuse radio emission from galaxy clusters

RJ Van Weeren, F de Gasperin, H Akamatsu… - Space Science …, 2019 - Springer
In a growing number of galaxy clusters diffuse extended radio sources have been found.
These sources are not directly associated with individual cluster galaxies. The radio …

Dark matter self-interactions and small scale structure

S Tulin, HB Yu - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
We review theories of dark matter (DM) beyond the collisionless paradigm, known as self-
