Wave dark matter

L Hui - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
We review the physics and phenomenology of wave dark matter: a bosonic dark matter
candidate lighter than about 30 eV. Such particles have a de Broglie wavelength exceeding …

Large-misalignment mechanism for the formation of compact axion structures: Signatures from the QCD axion to fuzzy dark matter

A Arvanitaki, S Dimopoulos, M Galanis, L Lehner… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Axions are some of the best motivated particles beyond the Standard Model. We show how

D Antypas, A Banerjee, C Bartram… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
The last decade has seen unprecedented effort in dark matter model building at all mass
scales coupled with the design of numerous new detection strategies. Transformative …

galstreams: A library of Milky Way stellar stream footprints and tracks

C Mateu - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Nearly a hundred stellar streams have been found to date around the Milky Way and the
number keeps growing at an ever faster pace. Here we present the galstreams library, a …

Constraints on dark matter microphysics from the milky way satellite population

EO Nadler, V Gluscevic, KK Boddy… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Alternatives to the cold, collisionless dark matter (DM) paradigm in which DM behaves as a
collisional fluid generically suppress small-scale structure. Herein we use the observed …

Dark matter constraints from a unified analysis of strong gravitational lenses and Milky Way satellite galaxies

EO Nadler, S Birrer, D Gilman… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Joint analyses of small-scale cosmological structure probes are relatively unexplored and
promise to advance measurements of microphysical dark matter properties using …
