Intergalactic medium heating by dark matter
We derive the evolution of the energy deposition in the intergalactic medium (IGM) by dark matter (DM) decays/annihilations for both sterile neutrinos and light dark matter (LDM) particles. At z > 200 sterile neutrinos transfer a fraction fabs ∼ 0.5 of their rest mass energy into the IGM; at lower redshifts this fraction becomes < ∼ 0.3 depending on the particle mass. The LDM particles can deca...
متن کاملSelf-Interacting Dark Matter
Spergel and Steinhardt have recently proposed the concept of dark matter with strong self-interactions as a means to address numerous discrepancies between observations of dark matter halos on subgalactic scales and the predictions of the standard collisionless dark matter picture. We review the motivations for this scenario and discuss some recent, successful numerical tests. We also discuss t...
متن کاملFormation and Evolution of Self-Interacting Dark Matter Halos
In the standard cold dark matter (CDM) theory of cosmic structure formation, CDM particles are assumed to be collisionless. The actual identity and microscopic nature of CDM is still unknown, however. It is important, therefore, to explore the consequences of varying this underlying assumption about CDM in the hope that astronomical observations can be used to place meaningful constraints. It h...
متن کاملConsequences of dark matter self-annihilation for galaxy formation
Galaxy formation requires a process that continually heats gas and quenches star formation in order to reproduce the observed shape of the luminosity function of bright galaxies. To accomplish this, current models invoke heating from supernovae, and energy injection from active galactic nuclei. However, observations of radio-loud active galactic nuclei suggest that their feedback is likely to n...
متن کاملFormation and Evolution of Self-Interacting Dark Matter Haloes
We have derived the first, fully-cosmological, similarity solutions for cold dark matter (CDM) halo formation in the presence of nongravitational collisionality (i.e. elastic scattering), which provides an analytical theory of the effect of the self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) hypothesis on halo density profiles. Collisions transport heat inward which flattens the central cusp of the CDM den...
