The offsets between galaxies and their dark matter in Λ cold dark matter. [PDF]
We use the ‘Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments’ (EAGLE) suite of hydrodynamical cosmological simulations to measure offsets between the centres of stellar and dark matter components of galaxies.

The Impact Of Cold Dark Matter Variants On The Halos Of The First Stars And Galaxies: Angular Momentum And Vortex Creation In BEC Dark Matter [PDF]
If cold dark matter elementary particles form a Bose-Einstein condensate, their superfluidity may distinguish them from other forms of cold dark matter, including the creation of quantum vortices.

In this paper, we study a cosmological model in general relativity within the framework of spatially flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker space–time filled with ordinary matter (baryonic), radiation, dark matter and dark energy, where the latter two ...

Inference of the cold dark matter substructure mass function at z = 0.2 using strong gravitational lenses [PDF]
We present the results of a search for galaxy substructures in a sample of 11 gravitational lens galaxies from the Sloan Lens ACS Survey by Bolton et al.

Particle Physics Approach to Dark Matter
We review the main proposals of particle physics for the composition of the cold dark matter in the universe. Strong axion contribution to cold dark matter is not favored if the Peccei-Quinn field emerges with non-zero value at the end of inflation and ...

Bose-Einstein Condensation of Dark Matter Axions [PDF]
We show that cold dark matter axions thermalize and form a Bose-Einstein condensate. We obtain the axion state in a homogeneous and isotropic universe, and derive the equations governing small axion perturbations.

Closed-form Expressions for Multiscatter Dark Matter Capture Rates
Any astrophysical object can, in principle, serve as a probe of the interaction between dark matter (DM) and regular baryonic matter. This method is based on the potential observable consequences annihilations of captured DM have on the surface ...

Strongly-interacting ultralight millicharged particles
We consider the implications of an ultra-light fermionic dark matter candidate that carries baryon number. This naturally arises if dark matter has a small charge under standard model baryon number whilst having an asymmetry equal and opposite to that in

Axion cold dark matter in view of BICEP2 results. [PDF]
The properties of axions that constitute 100% of cold dark matter (CDM) depend on the tensor-to-scalar ratio r at the end of inflation. If r=0.20(-0.05)(+0.07) as reported by the BICEP2 Collaboration, then "half" of the CDM axion parameter space is ruled

Strong Bound on Canonical Ultralight Axion Dark Matter from the Lyman-Alpha Forest. [PDF]
We present a new bound on the ultralight axion (ULA) dark matter mass m_{a}, using the Lyman-alpha forest to look for suppressed cosmic structure growth: a 95% lower limit m_{a}>2×10^{-20} eV.
