This report summarises progress made in estimating the local density of dark matter (ρ
DM,⊙), a quantity that is especially important for dark matter direct detection experiments …

The presence of dark matter substructure will boost the signatures of dark matter
annihilation. We review recent progress on estimates of this subhalo boost factor—a ratio of …

We present high-resolution rotation curves and mass models of 26 dwarf galaxies from"
Local Irregulars That Trace Luminosity Extremes, The H i Nearby Galaxy Survey"(LITTLE …

There had been recent advancement toward the detection of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies,
which may serve as a useful laboratory for dark matter exploration since some of them …

The core–cusp problem is one of the controversial issues in the standard paradigm of Λ cold
dark matter (ΛCDM) theory. However, under the assumption of conventional spherical …

We present Symphony, a compilation of 262 cosmological, cold-dark-matter-only zoom-in
simulations spanning four decades of host halo mass, from 10 11–10 15 M⊙. This …

We present the open source Astrophysical Multi-purpose Software Environment (AMUSE), a
component library for performing astrophysical simulations involving different physical …

A prediction of the standard Λ cold dark matter cosmology is that dark matter (DM) haloes
are teeming with numerous self-bound substructure or subhaloes. The precise properties of …

Warm dark matter (WDM) can potentially explain small-scale observations that currently
challenge the cold dark matter (CDM) model, as warm particles suppress structure formation …

According to modern theory, galactic evolution is driven by the dynamics of dark matter and
stochastic star formation, but galaxies are observed to be simple systems. The existence of …
