Albatross: a scalable simulation-based inference pipeline for analysing stellar streams in the Milky Way

J Alvey, M Gerdes, C Weniger - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Stellar streams are potentially a very sensitive observational probe of galactic astrophysics,
as well as the dark matter population in the Milky Way. On the other hand, performing a …

Limits on dark matter annihilation in prompt cusps from the isotropic gamma-ray background

MS Delos, M Korsmeier, A Widmark, C Blanco… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Recent studies indicate that thermally produced dark matter will form highly concentrated,
low-mass cusps in the early universe that often survive until the present. While these cusps …

Prompt cusps and the dark matter annihilation signal

MS Delos, SDM White - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
As the first dark matter objects gravitationally condense, a density cusp forms immediately at
every initial density maximum. Numerical simulations and theoretical arguments suggest …

Testing the Galaxy-collision-induced Formation Scenario for the Trail of Dark-matter-deficient Galaxies with the Susceptibility of Globular Clusters to the Tidal Force

G Ogiya, FC Van den Bosch, A Burkert… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
It has been suggested that a trail of diffuse galaxies, including two dark-matter-deficient
galaxies (DMDGs), in the vicinity of NGC 1052 formed because of a high-speed collision …

Collisionless relaxation from near equilibrium configurations: Linear theory and application to tidal strip**

S Rozier, R Errani - arxiv preprint arxiv:2402.03430, 2024 - arxiv.org
Placed slightly out of dynamical equilibrium, an isolated stellar system quickly returns
towards a steady virialized state. We study this process of collisionless relaxation using the …

The tidal evolution of anisotropic subhaloes: A new pathway to creating isotropic and cored satellites

BT Chiang, FC Bosch, HY Schive - arxiv preprint arxiv:2411.03192, 2024 - arxiv.org
It is common practice, both in dynamical modelling and in idealised numerical simulations,
to assume that galaxies and/or dark matter haloes are spherical and have isotropic velocity …

Do assumptions about the central density of subhaloes affect dark matter annihilation and lensing calculations?

NE Drakos, JE Taylor, AJ Benson - arxiv preprint arxiv:2308.00830, 2023 - arxiv.org
A growing body of evidence suggests that the central density of cuspy dark matter subhaloes
is conserved in minor mergers. However, empirical models of subhalo evolution, calibrated …
