Wave dark matter

L Hui - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
We review the physics and phenomenology of wave dark matter: a bosonic dark matter
candidate lighter than about 30 eV. Such particles have a de Broglie wavelength exceeding …

Ultra-light dark matter

EGM Ferreira - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2021 - Springer
Ultra-light dark matter is a class of dark matter models (DM), where DM is composed by
bosons with masses ranging from 10^-24\, eV< m< eV 10-24 eV< m< eV. These models …

Constraints on dark matter properties from observations of Milky Way satellite galaxies

EO Nadler, A Drlica-Wagner, K Bechtol, S Mau… - Physical review …, 2021 - APS
We perform a comprehensive study of Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxies to constrain the
fundamental properties of dark matter (DM). This analysis fully incorporates inhomogeneities …

All-sky dynamical response of the Galactic halo to the Large Magellanic Cloud

C Conroy, RP Naidu, N Garavito-Camargo, G Besla… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Gravitational interactions between the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the stellar and
dark matter halo of the Milky Way are expected to give rise to disequilibrium phenomena in …

Dynamical friction of black holes in ultralight dark matter

R Vicente, V Cardoso - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
In this work we derive simple closed-form expressions for the dynamical friction acting on
black holes moving through ultralight (scalar field) dark matter, covering both nonrelativistic …

Subhalo mass function and ultralight bosonic dark matter

K Schutz - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Warm dark matter has recently become increasingly constrained by observational
inferences about the low-mass end of the subhalo mass function, which would be …

Response of ultralight dark matter to supermassive black holes and binaries

L Annulli, V Cardoso, R Vicente - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Scalar fields can give rise to confined structures, such as boson stars or Q-balls. These
objects are interesting hypothetical new “dark matter stars,” but also good descriptions of …

Galactic rotation curves versus ultralight dark matter: A systematic comparison with SPARC data

N Bar, K Blum, C Sun - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We look for and place observational constraints on the imprint of ultralight dark matter
(ULDM) soliton cores in rotation-dominated galaxies. Extending previous analyses, we find …

The DECam local volume exploration survey: Overview and first data release

A Drlica-Wagner, JL Carlin, DL Nidever… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE) is a 126-night survey
program on the 4 m Blanco Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in …

The effect of the deforming dark matter haloes of the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud on the Orphan–Chenab stream

S Lilleengen, MS Petersen, D Erkal… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
It has recently been shown that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has a substantial effect
on the Milky Way's stellar halo and stellar streams. Here, we explore how deformations of …
