Constraints on Dark Matter from Dynamical Heating of Stars in Ultrafaint Dwarfs. Part 1: MACHOs and Primordial Black Holes

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Peter W. Graham, Harikrishnan Ramani, , , | Summary: We place limits on dark matter made up of compact objects significantly heavier than a solar mass, such as MACHOs or primordial black holes (PBHs). In galaxies, the gas of such objects is generally hotter than the […]

Coherent Self-Interactions of Dark Matter in the Bullet Cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Zachary Bogorad, Peter W. Graham, Harikrishnan Ramani, , | Summary: Many models of dark matter include self-interactions beyond gravity. A variety of astrophysical observations have previously been used to place limits on the strength of such self-interactions. However, previous works have generally focused either on short-range […]

Kavli Affiliate: Philip Marshall | Summary:The arrival of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), Euclid-Wide and Roman wide area sensitive surveys will herald a new era in strong lens science in which the number of strong lenses known is expected to rise from $mathcalO(10^3)$ to $mathcalO(10^5)$. However, current lens-finding […]

Numerical integrator for highly oscillatory differential equations based on the Neumann series

Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz Madejski | Summary:We propose a third-order numerical integrator based on the Neumann series and the Filon quadrature, designed mainly for highly oscillatory partial differential equations. The method can be applied to equations that exhibit small or moderate oscillations; however, counter-intuitively, large oscillations increase the accuracy of the scheme. With the proposed approach, […]

Extragalactic Magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program). VII. A tomographic view of far infrared and radio polarimetric observations through MHD simulations of galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Tara Dacunha, Susan E. Clark, Alejandro S. Borlaff | Summary: The structure of magnetic fields in galaxies remains poorly constrained, despite the importance of magnetism in the evolution of galaxies. Radio synchrotron and far-infrared dust polarization (FIR) polarimetric observations are the best […]

Tracking the X-ray Polarization of the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613 during a State Transition

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Adam Ingram, Niek Bollemeijer, Alexandra Veledina, Michal Dovciak, Juri Poutanen | Summary: We report on an observational campaign on the bright black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8$-$1613 centered around five observations by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). These observations track for the first time the […]
