Dark matter dynamics and indirect detection
(Modern Physics Letters A, 2005-05-10)Non-baryonic, or “dark”, matter is believed to be a major component of the total mass budget of the universe. We review the candidates for particle dark matter and discuss the prospects for direct detection (via interaction ... -
Empirical models for Dark Matter Halos. I. Nonparametric Construction of Density Profiles and comparison with Parametric Models
(American Astronomical Society - The Astronomical Journal, 2006-12)We use techniques from nonparametric function estimation theory to extract the density pro- files, and their derivatives, from a set of N-body dark matter halos. We consider halos generated from ΛCDM simulations of ... -
Interaction of supermassive black holes with their stellar and dark matter environments
(Springer, 2005-06-22)While supermassive black holes probably gained most of their mass via accretion of gas, the galactic nuclei in which they are currently situated are dominated by stars. This article reviews recent theoretical work on the ...
