Dark matter in compact stars
WDs and neutron stars are far-reaching and multi-faceted laboratories in the hunt for dark
matter. We review detection prospects of wave-like, particulate, macroscopic and black hole …

Mechanisms for primordial black hole production in string theory
We consider mechanisms for producing a significant population of primordial black holes
(PBHs) within string inspired single field models of inflation. The production of PBHs …

Scattering searches for dark matter in subhalos: neutron stars, cosmic rays, and old rocks
In many cosmologies dark matter clusters on subkiloparsec scales and forms compact
subhalos, in which the majority of Galactic dark matter could reside. Null results in direct …

Pulsar timing probes of primordial black holes and subhalos
Pulsars act as accurate clocks, sensitive to gravitational redshift and acceleration induced by
transiting clumps of matter. We study the sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) to single …

Gravitational dark matter: Free streaming and phase space distribution
Gravitational dark matter (DM) is the simplest possible scenario that has recently gained
interest in the early Universe cosmology. In this scenario, DM is assumed to be produced …

Constraints on dark matter from dynamical heating of stars in ultrafaint dwarfs. II. Substructure and the primordial power spectrum
PW Graham, H Ramani - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
There is a large and growing interest in observations of small-scale structure in dark matter.
We propose a new way to probe dark matter structures in the∼ 10–10 8 M⊙ range. This …

Dark matter freeze-out in a nonrelativistic sector
A thermally decoupled hidden sector of particles, with a mass gap, generically enters a
phase of cannibalism in the early Universe. The Standard Model sector becomes …
