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 ...

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

Search for Ultraheavy Dark Matter from Observations of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with VERITAS
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dark matter is a key piece of the current cosmological scenario, with weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) a leading dark matter candidate. WIMPs have not been detected in their conventional parameter space (100 GeV ≲ M _χ ≲ 100 TeV), a mass ...

Young Globular Clusters and Dwarf Spheroidals [PDF]
, 1999 Most of the globular clusters in the main body of the Galactic halo were formed almost simultaneously. However, globular cluster formation in dwarf spheroidal galaxies appears to have extended over a significant fraction of a Hubble time.

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.

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.

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 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 ...
