Abstract: We study the effects of inelastic dark matter self-interactions on the internal structure of a simulated Milky Way (MW)-size halo. Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is an alternative to collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) which offers… read more here.

Abstract: We present a suite of FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of isolated field dwarf galaxies, all with masses of $M_{\rm halo} \approx 10^{10}\, {\rm M}_{\odot }$ at z = 0, across a range of dark matter models.… read more here.

Abstract: Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) has gathered growing attention as a solution to the small-scale problems of the collisionless cold dark matter (CDM). We investigate the SIDM using stellar kinematics of the 23 ultra-faint dwarf (UFD)… read more here.
