No WIMP mini-spikes in dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]

Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2015
The formation of black holes inevitably affects the distribution of dark and baryonic matter in their vicinity, leading to an enhancement of the dark matter density, called spike, and if dark matter is made of WIMPs, to a strong enhancement of the dark matter annihilation rate.

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.

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)

Dark Matter Limits from Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with the HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory [PDF]

, 2017
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma-ray observatory is a wide field of view observatory sensitive to 500 GeV–100 TeV gamma-rays and cosmic rays. It can also perform diverse indirect searches for dark matter annihilation and decay.

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 ...

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 ...

Search for gamma-ray emission from the 12 nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies with 12 years of Fermi-LAT data [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2018
In this work, we search for $\gamma$-ray emission from the directions of some nearby Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) and candidates with the publicly-available Pass 8 data of Fermi-LAT.

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 HOT DARK MATTER MODEL: FURTHER INVESTIGATION

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2020
e outer region with the dominant hot dark matter (the parabolic orbit of the test particle). It was assumed that the hot dark matter consists of hypothetical Planck neutrinos arising in the decay of the protons at the Planck scale.
