Dark satellites and the morphology of dwarf galaxies [PDF]

, 2012
One of the strongest predictions of the LambdaCDM cosmological model is the presence of dark satellites orbiting all types of galaxies. We focus here on the dynamical effects of such satellites on disky dwarf galaxies, and demonstrate that these ...

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.

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 ...

Lambda-Cold Dark Matter, Stellar Feedback, and the Galactic Halo Abundance Pattern [PDF]

, 2005
(Abridged) The hierarchical formation scenario for the stellar halo requires the accretion and disruption of dwarf galaxies, yet low-metallicity halo stars are enriched in alpha-elements compared to similar, low-metallicity stars in dwarf spheroidal ...

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.

Are dSph galaxies Galactic building blocks?

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) are frequently assumed to represent surviving examples of a vast now destroyed population of small systems in which many of the stars now forming the Milky Way were formed. Ongoing accretion and considerable sub-structure

The Effect of Tidal Stripping on Composite Stellar Populations in Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]

, 2009
We use N-body simulations to study the effects of tides on the kinematical structure of satellite galaxies orbiting a Milky Way-like potential. Our work is motivated by observations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group, for which often a ...

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 ...

Abundance Analysis of Stars at Large Radius in the Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the stellar parameters and chemical abundances of 30 elements for five stars located at large radii (3.5–10.7 times the half-light radius) in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We selected these stars using proper motions, radial velocities,

Dwarf Spheroidal Satellite Formation in a Reionized Local Group [PDF]

, 2014
Dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies have emerged a powerful probe of small-scale dark matter clustering and of cosmic reionization. They exhibit structural and chemical continuity with dwarf irregular galaxies in the field and with spheroidal galaxies in
