A new era in the search for dark matter

G Bertone, TMP Tait - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
There is a growing sense of 'crisis' in the dark-matter particle community, which arises from
the absence of evidence for the most popular candidates for dark-matter particles—such as …

Gravitational probes of dark matter physics

MR Buckley, AHG Peter - Physics reports, 2018 - Elsevier
The nature of dark matter is one of the most pressing questions in physics. Yet all our
present knowledge of the dark sector to date comes from its gravitational interactions with …

DarkSUSY 6: an advanced tool to compute dark matter properties numerically

T Bringmann, T Edsjö, P Gondolo, P Ullio… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The nature of dark matter remains one of the key science questions. Weakly Interacting

Reconciling the diversity and uniformity of galactic rotation curves with self-interacting dark matter

T Ren, A Kwa, M Kaplinghat, HB Yu - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
Galactic rotation curves exhibit diverse behavior in the inner regions while obeying an
organizing principle; ie, they can be approximately described by a radial acceleration …

Strong dark matter self-interactions diversify halo populations within and surrounding the milky way

D Yang, EO Nadler, HB Yu - The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We perform a high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way (MW)–like
system, which includes a realistic Large Magellanic Cloud analog, using a large differential …

Velocity-dependent self-interacting dark matter from groups and clusters of galaxies

L Sagunski, S Gad-Nasr, B Colquhoun… - … of Cosmology and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We probe the self-interactions of dark matter with relaxed galaxy groups and clusters using
observational data from strong and weak lensing and stellar kinematics. Our analysis uses …

The case for a cold dark matter cusp in Draco

JI Read, MG Walker, P Steger - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We use a new mass modelling method, GravSphere, to measure the central dark matter
density profile of the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Draco's star formation shut down long …

Core-collapse, evaporation, and tidal effects: the life story of a self-interacting dark matter subhalo

ZC Zeng, AHG Peter, X Du, A Benson… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) cosmologies admit an enormous diversity of dark matter
(DM) halo density profiles, from low-density cores to high-density core-collapsed cusps. The …

Observable tests of self-interacting dark matter in galaxy clusters: cosmological simulations with SIDM and baryons

A Robertson, D Harvey, R Massey, V Eke… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We present bahamas-SIDM, the first large-volume,, cosmological simulations including both
self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) and baryonic physics. These simulations are important for …

Converting nonrelativistic dark matter to radiation

T Bringmann, F Kahlhoefer, K Schmidt-Hoberg, P Walia - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
Dark matter in the cosmological concordance model is parametrized by a single number,
describing the covariantly conserved energy density of a nonrelativistic fluid. Here we test …
