On the Dynamical Heating of Dwarf Galaxies in a Fuzzy Dark Matter Halo

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Fuzzy dark matter (FDM), consisting of ultralight bosons, is an intriguing alternative to cold dark matter. Numerical simulations solving the Schrödinger–Poisson (SP) equation, which governs FDM dynamics, show that FDM halos consist of a central ...

Impact of Cosmic‐Ray Physics on Dark Matter Indirect Searches

Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
The quest for the elusive dark matter (DM) that permeates the Universe (and in general the search for signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model at astronomical scales) provides a unique opportunity and a tough challenge to the high energy astrophysics community.

Faint (and bright) variable stars in the satellites of the Milky Way

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
I describe two ongoing projects related with variable stars in the satellites of the MilkyWay. In the first project, we are searching for dwarf Cepheid stars (a.k.a δ Scuti and/or SX Phe) in some of the classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Our goal is to

Galaxy threshing and the formation of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies [PDF]

, 2001
Recent spectroscopic and morphological observational studies of galaxies around NGC 1399 in the Fornax Cluster (Drinkwater et al. 2000b) have discovered several `ultra-compact dwarf' galaxies with intrinsic sizes of $\sim$ 100 pc and absolute $B$ band ...

The Discreet Charm of Higgsino Dark Matter: A Pocket Review

Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
We give a brief review of the current constraints and prospects for detection of higgsino dark matter in low‐scale supersymmetry. In the first part we argue, after performing a survey of all potential dark matter particles in the MSSM, that the (nearly) pure higgsino is the only candidate emerging virtually unscathed from the wealth of observational ...

An LBT view of the Andromeda’s satellite galaxies

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Results are presented on deep (V ∼ 26.5 mag) time series observations of four dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) in the Andromeda (M31) complex, namely, And XIX, And XXI, And XXV and And XXVII, that we have observed with the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT)

The Chemical Signature of a Relic Star Cluster in the Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy - Implications for Near-Field Cosmology [PDF]

, 2012
We present tentative evidence for the existence of a dissolved star cluster at [Fe/H]=-2.7 in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We use the technique of chemical tagging to identify stars that are highly clustered in a multi-dimensional chemical ...

Bose‐Einstein Condensate Dark Matter Halos Confronted with Galactic Rotation Curves

Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
We present a comparative confrontation of both the Bose‐Einstein Condensate (BEC) and the Navarro‐Frenk‐White (NFW) dark halo models with galactic rotation curves. We employ 6 High Surface Brightness (HSB), 6 Low Surface Brightness (LSB), and 7 dwarf galaxies with rotation curves falling into two classes.

The Dynamical and Chemical Evolution of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]

, 2009
We present a large sample of fully self-consistent hydrodynamical Nbody/Tree-SPH simulations of isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). It has enabled us to identify the key physical parameters and mechanisms at the origin of the observed variety in ...

Warm Dark Matter Sterile Neutrinos in Electron Capture and Beta Decay Spectra

Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
We briefly review the motivation to search for sterile neutrinos in the keV mass scale, as dark matter candidates, and the prospects to find them in beta decay or electron capture spectra, with a global perspective. We describe the fundamentals of the neutrino flavor‐mass eigenstate mismatch that opens the possibility of detecting sterile neutrinos in ...
