Taurid Complex Smoking Gun: Detection of Cometary Activity [PDF]

, 2020
Using the Secular Light Curve (SLC) formalism (Ferr\'in, 2010), we have catalogued 88 probable members of the Taurid Complex (TC). 51 of them have useful SLCs and 34 of these (67%) exhibit cometary activity. This high percentage of active asteroids gives support to the hypothesis of a catastrophe that took place during the Upper Paleolithic (Clube and ...

Scattering searches for dark matter in subhalos: neutron stars, cosmic rays, and old rocks [PDF]

, 2021
In many cosmologies dark matter clusters on sub-kiloparsec scales and forms compact subhalos, in which the majority of Galactic dark matter could reside. Null results in direct detection experiments since their advent four decades ago could then be the result of extremely rare encounters between the Earth and these subhalos.
