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.

Extreme Tidal Stripping May Explain the Overmassive Black Hole in Leo I: A Proof of Concept
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 A recent study found dynamical evidence of a supermassive black hole of ∼3 × 10 ^6 M _⊙ at the center of Leo I, the most distant dwarf spheroidal galaxy of the Milky Way. This black hole, comparable in mass to the Milky Way’s Sgr A*, places the system >2

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 ...

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)

Blue straggler stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2007 Blue straggler star (BSS) candidates have been observed in all old dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs), however whether or not they are authentic BSSs or young stars has been a point of debate. To both address this issue and obtain a better understanding of the formation of BSSs in different environments we have analysed a sample of BSS candidates in two

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.

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 In hidden sector models, dark matter does not directly couple to the particle content of the Standard Model, strongly suppressing rates at direct detection experiments, while still allowing for large signals from annihilation.

Assessment of Dark Matter Models Using Dark Matter Correlations across Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Universe, 2022 The predicted size of dark matter substructures in kilo-parsec scales is model-dependent. Therefore, if the correlations between dark matter mass densities as a function of the distances between them are measured via observations, we can scrutinize dark ...

Constraining Dwarf Spheroidal Dark Matter Halos With The Galactic Center Excess
, 2017 If the gamma-ray excess from the galactic center reported by Fermi-LAT is a signal from annihilating dark matter, one must question why a similar excess has not been observed in dwarf spheroidal galaxies.
