Insights on Dark Matter from Hydrogen during Cosmic Dawn
The origin and composition of the cosmological dark matter remain a mystery. However, upcoming 21-cm measurements during cosmic dawn, the period of the first stellar formation, can provide new clues on the nature of dark matter. During this era, the baryon-dark matter fluid is the slowest it will ever be, making it ideal to search for dark matter elastically scattering with baryons through mass...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
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 کاملCosmic Dark Ages: Minihalos and the Intergalactic Medium before Reionization
The H atoms inside minihalos (i.e. halos with virial temperatures Tvir ≤ 10 K, in the mass range roughly from 10M⊙ to 10 8 M⊙) during the cosmic dark ages in a ΛCDM universe produce a redshifted background of collisionally-pumped 21-cm line radiation which can be seen in emission relative to the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Previously, we used semi-analytical calculations of the 21-cm sig...
