Constraints on dark-matter properties from large-scale structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We use large-scale cosmological observations to place constraints on the dark-matter pressure, sound speed and viscosity, and infer a limit on the mass of warm-dark-matter particles.

Cores and cusps in warm dark matter halos [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2011
The apparent presence of large core radii in Low Surface Brightness galaxies has been claimed as evidence in favor of warm dark matter. Here we show that WDM halos do not have cores that are large fractions of the halo size: typically, r_core/r_200 < 0.001.

Gamma-rays From Warm WIMP Dark Matter Annihilation

open access: yes, 2012
The weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) often serves as a candidate for the cold dark matter, however when produced non-thermally it could behave like warm dark matter.

Neutrinos as Hot or Warm Dark Matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Both active and sterile sub-eV neutrinos can serve for hot dark matter (DM). On the other hand, keV sterile neutrinos could be a good candidate for warm DM. The beta-decaying (e.g., H-3 and Ru-106) and EC-decaying (e.g., Ho-163) nuclei are considered as the most promising targets to capture those extremely low energy neutrinos and antineutrinos ...

Cosmological implications of a Dark Matter self-interaction energy density

open access: yes, 2010
We investigate cosmological constraints on an energy density contribution of elastic dark matter self-interactions characterized by the mass of the exchange particle and coupling constant.

Dark Matter Caustics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Caustics are a generic feature of the nonlinear growth of structure in the dark matter distribution. If the dark matter were absolutely cold, its mass density would diverge at caustics, and the integrated annihilation probability would also diverge for ...

Gravitational waves and dark photon dark matter from axion rotations

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
An axion rotating in field space can produce dark photons in the early universe via tachyonic instability. This explosive particle production creates a background of stochastic gravitational waves that may be visible at pulsar timing arrays or other ...

Imprints of Non-thermal Wino Dark Matter on Small-Scale Structure

open access: yes, 2012
We study how "warm" the wino dark matter is when it is non-thermally produced by the decays of the gravitino in the early Universe. We clarify the energy distribution of the wino at the decay of the gravitino and the energy loss process after their ...

Halo Cores and Phase Space Densities: Observational Constraints on Dark Matter Physics and Structure Formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We explore observed dynamical trends in a wide range of dark matter dominated systems (about seven orders of magnitude in mass) to constrain hypothetical dark matter candidates and scenarios of structure formation.
