Large-scale dark matter simulations

RE Angulo, O Hahn - Living Reviews in Computational Astrophysics, 2022 - Springer
We review the field of collisionless numerical simulations for the large-scale structure of the
Universe. We start by providing the main set of equations solved by these simulations and …

Long-exposure NuSTAR constraints on decaying dark matter in the Galactic halo

BM Roach, S Rossland, KCY Ng, K Perez, JF Beacom… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We present two complementary NuSTAR x-ray searches for keV-scale dark matter decaying
to monoenergetic photons in the Milky Way halo. In the first, we utilize the known intensity …

How warm are non-thermal relics? Lyman-α bounds on out-of-equilibrium dark matter

G Ballesteros, MAG Garcia… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the power spectrum of Non-Cold Dark Matter (NCDM) produced in a state out
of thermal equilibrium. We consider dark matter production from the decay of scalar …

Warm dark matter constraints using Milky Way satellite observations and subhalo evolution modeling

A Dekker, S Ando, CA Correa, KCY Ng - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Warm dark matter (WDM) can potentially explain small-scale observations that currently
challenge the cold dark matter (CDM) model, as warm particles suppress structure formation …

New roads to the small-scale Universe: measurements of the clustering of matter with the high-redshift UV galaxy luminosity function

N Sabti, JB Muñoz, D Blas - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The epochs of cosmic dawn and reionization present promising avenues for understanding
the role of dark matter (DM) in our cosmos. The first galaxies that populated the universe …

Constraining the distribution of small-scale structure in our universe allows us to probe
alternatives to the cold dark matter paradigm. Strong gravitational lensing offers a unique …

Observational constraints on dark matter scattering with electrons

DV Nguyen, D Sarnaaik, KK Boddy, EO Nadler… - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We present new observational constraints on the elastic scattering of dark matter with
