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 ...

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.

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)

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 ...

Deep photometry of the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 1986 We report the results of deep CCD photometry of two overlapping fields in the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We find (B-V)o,g = m0.69, indicating a mean [Fe/H] = −2.0. The width of the giant branch below the horizontal branch is somewhat wider than our observational errors permit, from which we infer there is a spread in metallicities amongst the Draco

THE MODELLING OF THE MASS-METALLICITY RELATION FOR THE LOCAL GROUP DWARF GALAXIES
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2008 We present results of modelling of the mass-metallicity relation for the Local Group dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies. In this work, we use a single-zone chemo-dynamical model. Our model is based on the scheme suggested by C. Firmani and A. Tutukov (1992)

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 ...

UGC 7639: A Dwarf Galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 We want to get insight into the formation mechanism and the evolution of UGC 7639, a dwarf galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud (CVnIC). We used archival multiwavelength data to constrain its global properties. Ultraviolet images show that UGC 7639 inner regions are composed mostly by young stellar populations.

THE CHEMICAL EVOLUTION OF THE DRACO DWARF SPHEROIDAL GALAXY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 We present an abundance analysis based on high resolution spectra of 8 stars selected to span the full range in metallicity in the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We find [Fe/H] for the sample stars ranges from -1.5 to -3.0 dex. Combining our sample with previously published work for a total of 14 luminous Draco giants, we show that the abundance ratios

The Tucana dwarf spheroidal galaxy: not such a massive failure after all [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Context. Isolated local group (LG) dwarf galaxies have evolved most or all of their life unaffected by interactions with the large LG spirals and therefore offer the opportunity to learn about the intrinsic characteristics of this class of objects. Aims.
