Dark Matter Searches with the Fermi-LAT in the Direction of Dwarf Spheroidals [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies of the Milky Way are some of the most dark-matter-dominated objects known. Due to their proximity, high dark matter content, and lack of astrophysical backgrounds, dwarf spheroidal galaxies are widely considered to be among the most promising targets for the indirect detection of dark matter via gamma rays.

Elemental Abundances in And XIX from Coadded Spectra

The Astrophysical Journal
With a luminosity similar to that of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal systems like Sextans, but a spatial extent similar to that of ultra-diffuse galaxies, Andromeda (And) XIX is an unusual satellite of M31. To investigate the origin of this galaxy, we measure

Environmental Mechanisms Shaping the Nature of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies: The View of Computer Simulations

Advances in Astronomy, 2010
We review numerical works carried out over the last decade on the role of environmental mechanisms in shaping nature of the faintest galaxies known, dwarf spheroidals (dSphs). The combination of tidally induced morphological transformation, termed tidal

The 3.5 keV line from stringy axions

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
An interesting result in particle astrophysics is the recent detection of an unexplained 3.5 keV line from galaxy clusters. A promising model, which can explain the morphology of the signal and its non-observation in dwarf spheroidal galaxies, involves a

Universal relations with fermionic dark matter

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2018
We have recently introduced a new model for the distribution of dark matter (DM) in galaxies, the Ruffini-Argüelles-Rueda (RAR) model, based on a self-gravitating system of massive fermions at finite temperatures.

Evaluating the Potential to Constrain Dark Matter Annihilation with Fermi-LAT Observations of Ultrafaint Compact Stellar Systems

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent results from numerical simulations and models of galaxy formation suggest that recently discovered ultrafaint compact stellar systems (UFCSs) in the halo of the Milky Way (MW) may be some of the smallest and faintest galaxies. If this is the case,

Dark Matter Gamma-ray searches in Galaxy Clusters: Status and prospects [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Galaxy clusters are the largest structures in the Universe, being dark matter (DM) dominated objects. For DM decay, they yield the highest expected fluxes with respect to other prime targets.

Astrophysical site(s) of r-process elements in galactic chemodynamical evolution model

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
Astrophysical site(s) of rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) is (are) not identified yet. Although core-collapse supernovae have been regarded as one of the possible candidates of the astrophysical site of r-process, nucleosynthesis studies suggest

Estimating masses of dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Precise measurements of mass in dark matter dominated dwarf spheroidal galaxies are of great importance for testing the theories of structure formation. We use $N$-body simulations of the tidal evolution of a dwarf galaxy orbiting the Milky Way to generate mock kinematical data sets and use them to test the reliability of a simple mass estimator ...

A Census of Dwarf Galaxy Satellites around LMC-mass Galaxy NGC 2403

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the first comprehensive census of the satellite population around a Large Magellanic Cloud stellar-mass galaxy, as part of the Magellanic Analog Dwarf Companions and Stellar Halos (MADCASH) survey. We have surveyed NGC 2403 ( D = 3.0 Mpc) with
