Dark satellites and the morphology of dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesAdvances 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

open access: yesAdvances 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 ...

Searching for light in the darkness: Bounds on ALP dark matter with the optical MUSE-faint survey

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2021
We use MUSE spectroscopic observations of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo T between 470 and 935 nm to search for radiative decays of axion like particles (ALPs).

Constraining Dwarf Spheroidal Dark Matter Halos With The Galactic Center Excess [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. D 97, 043017 (2018), 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. We use this observation to place constraints on the density profile of dwarf spheroidal galaxies under the assumption that the galactic center excess

Bose‐Einstein Condensate Dark Matter Halos Confronted with Galactic Rotation Curves

open access: yesAdvances 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?

open access: yesEPJ 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

Local Group Dwarf Galaxies and the Fundamental Manifold of Spheroids [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophys.J.642:L37-L40,2006, 2006
The fundamental manifold (FM), an extension of the fundamental plane formalism, incorporates all spheroid-dominated stellar systems from dwarf ellipticals up to the intracluster stellar populations of galaxy clusters by accounting for the continuous variation of the mass-to-light ratio within the effective radius r_e with scale.

Improved Searches for HI in Three Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Previous searches for HI in our Galaxy's dwarf spheroidal companions have not been complete enough to settle the question of whether or not these galaxies have HI, especially in their outer parts.
