A Self-interacting Dark Matter Solution to the Extreme Diversity of Low-mass Halo Properties

EO Nadler, D Yang, HB Yu - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The properties of low-mass dark matter (DM) halos appear to be remarkably diverse relative
to cold, collisionless DM predictions, even in the presence of baryons. We show that self …

The distribution and morphologies of Fornax Cluster dwarf galaxies suggest they lack dark matter
