Baryonic solutions and challenges for cosmological models of dwarf galaxies

LV Sales, A Wetzel, A Fattahi - Nature Astronomy, 2022 - nature.com
Galaxies and their dark-matter haloes have posed several challenges to the dark energy
plus cold dark matter (Λ CDM) cosmological model. These discrepancies between …

Dark matters on the scale of galaxies

I de Martino, SS Chakrabarty, V Cesare, A Gallo… - Universe, 2020 - mdpi.com
The cold dark-matter model successfully explains both the emergence and evolution of
cosmic structures on large scales and, when we include a cosmological constant, the …

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 …

Strong dark matter self-interactions diversify halo populations within and surrounding the milky way

D Yang, EO Nadler, HB Yu - The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We perform a high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way (MW)–like
system, which includes a realistic Large Magellanic Cloud analog, using a large differential …

Core-collapse, evaporation, and tidal effects: the life story of a self-interacting dark matter subhalo

ZC Zeng, AHG Peter, X Du, A Benson… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) cosmologies admit an enormous diversity of dark matter
(DM) halo density profiles, from low-density cores to high-density core-collapsed cusps. The …

The halo mass function and filaments in full cosmological simulations with fuzzy dark matter

S May, V Springel - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Fuzzy dark matter (FDM) is a dark matter candidate consisting of ultralight scalar particles
with masses around, a regime where cold bosonic matter behaves as a collective wave …

The onset of gravothermal core collapse in velocity-dependent self-interacting dark matter subhaloes

HC Turner, MR Lovell, J Zavala… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
It has been proposed that gravothermal collapse due to dark matter self-interactions (ie self-
interacting dark matter, SIDM) can explain the observed diversity of the Milky Way (MW) …

Dark matter cores and cusps in spiral galaxies and their explanations

M Kaplinghat, T Ren, HB Yu - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We compare proposed solutions to the core vs cusp issue of spiral galaxies, which has also
been framed as a diversity problem, and demonstrate that the cuspiness of dark matter halos …

The impact of baryonic potentials on the gravothermal evolution of self-interacting dark matter haloes

YM Zhong, D Yang, HB Yu - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
The presence of a central baryonic potential can have a significant impact on the
gravothermal evolution of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) haloes. We extend a semi …

TangoSIDM: tantalizing models of self-interacting dark matter
