Dark matter self-interactions and small scale structure

S Tulin, HB Yu - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
We review theories of dark matter (DM) beyond the collisionless paradigm, known as self-
interacting dark matter (SIDM), and their observable implications for astrophysical structure …

Cluster–galaxy weak lensing

K Umetsu - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2020 - Springer
Weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies provides a direct probe of the projected
matter distribution in and around galaxy clusters. Here, we present a self-contained …

Dark matter halos as particle colliders: unified solution to small-scale structure puzzles from dwarfs to clusters

M Kaplinghat, S Tulin, HB Yu - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
Astrophysical observations spanning dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters indicate that dark
matter (DM) halos are less dense in their central regions compared to expectations from …
