Bounds on velocity-dependent dark matter-proton scattering from Milky Way satellite abundance

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Karime Maamari, Vera Gluscevic, Kimberly K. Boddy, Ethan O. Nadler, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: We use the latest measurements of the Milky Way satellite population from the Dark Energy Survey and Pan-STARRS1 to infer the most stringent astrophysical bound to date on velocity-dependent interactions between […]

The TeV Cosmic Ray Bump: a Message from Epsilon Indi or Epsilon Eridani Star?

Kavli Affiliate: Igor V. Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Mikhail A. Malkov, Igor V. Moskalenko, , , | Summary: A recently observed bump in the cosmic ray (CR) spectrum from 0.3–30 TV is likely caused by a stellar bow shock that reaccelerates emph{preexisting} CRs, which further propagate to the Sun along the magnetic field lines. […]
