Dark Matter Interpretation of the Fermi-LAT Observations Toward the Outer Halo of M31

Kavli Affiliate: Igor Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Chris Karwin, Simona Murgia, Igor Moskalenko, Sean Fillingham, Anne-Katherine Burns | Summary: An excess $gamma$-ray signal toward the outer halo of M31 has recently been reported. Although other explanations are plausible, the possibility that it arises from dark matter (DM) is valid. In this work we interpret […]

The effects of turbulence on galactic nuclear gas rings

Kavli Affiliate: R. Morris | First 5 Authors: Jesus M. Salas, Smadar Naoz, Mark R. Morris, , | Summary: The gas dynamics in the inner few kiloparsecs of barred galaxies often results in configurations that give rise to nuclear gas rings. However, the generic dynamical description of the formation of galactic nuclear rings does not […]

Searching for New Interactions at Sub-micron Scale Using the Mossbauer Effect

Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Giorgio Gratta, David E. Kaplan, Surjeet Rajendran, , | Summary: A new technique to search for new scalar and tensor interactions at the sub-micrometer scale is presented. The technique relies on small shifts of nuclear gamma lines produced by the coupling between matter and the nuclei in […]

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. […]

On the vanishing orbital X-ray variability of the eclipsing binary millisecond pulsar 47 Tuc W

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Pavan R. Hebbar, Craig O. Heinke, D. Kandel, Roger W. Romani, | Summary: Redback millisecond pulsars (MSPs) typically show pronounced orbital variability in their X-ray emission due to our changing view of the intrabinary shock (IBS) between the pulsar wind and stellar wind from the companion. […]
