Abstract
We present a fit to observational data in an asymmetric self-interacting dark matter model using our recently calculated cross sections that incorporate both -channel and -channel exchanges in the scattering of identical particles. We find good fits to the data ranging from dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters, and equivalent relative velocities from km/sec to km/s. We compare our results with previous fits that used only -channel exchange contributions to the scattering.
