The planes of satellite galaxies problem, suggested solutions, and open questions

MS Pawlowski - Modern Physics Letters A, 2018 - World Scientific
Satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and of the Andromeda galaxy have been found to
preferentially align in significantly flattened planes of satellite galaxies, and available …

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 …

ETHOS–an effective theory of structure formation: dark matter physics as a possible explanation of the small-scale CDM problems

M Vogelsberger, J Zavala… - Monthly Notices of …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We present the first simulations within an effective theory of structure formation (ETHOS),
which includes the effect of interactions between dark matter and dark radiation on the linear …

Symmetry of cosmological observables, a mirror world dark sector, and the Hubble constant

FY Cyr-Racine, F Ge, L Knox - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We find that a uniform scaling of the gravitational free-fall rates and photon-electron
scattering rate leaves most dimensionless cosmological observables nearly invariant. This …

FY Cyr-Racine, K Sigurdson, J Zavala, T Bringmann… - physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We formulate an effective theory of structure formation (ETHOS) that enables cosmological
structure formation to be computed in almost any microphysical model of dark matter …

Using Gaia DR2 to constrain local dark matter density and thin dark disk

Solving the small-scale structure puzzles with dissipative dark matter

R Foot, S Vagnozzi - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Small-scale structure is studied in the context of dissipative dark matter, arising for instance
in models with a hidden unbroken Abelian sector, so that dark matter couples to a massless …

Precision cosmological constraints on atomic dark matter

S Bansal, J Barron, D Curtin, Y Tsai - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract Atomic dark matter is a simple but highly theoretically motivated possibility for an
interacting dark sector that could constitute some or all of dark matter. We perform a …

Constraining a Thin Dark Matter Disk with

K Schutz, T Lin, BR Safdi, CL Wu - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
If a component of the dark matter has dissipative interactions, it could collapse to form a thin
dark disk in our Galaxy that is coplanar with the baryonic disk. It has been suggested that …

A lower bound on the mass of compact objects from dissipative dark matter

J Gurian, M Ryan, S Schon, D Jeong… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the fragmentation scale of dark gas formed in dissipative dark-matter halos and
show that the simple atomic-dark-matter model consistent with all current observations can …
