The unidentified emission line at the energy of $\sim$3.5~keV observed in X-rays from galaxy clusters may originate from a process involving a dark matter particle. On the other hand, a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) has been an…

Recent data from Reticulum II (RetII) require the energy range of the FermiLAT $\gamma$-excess to be $\sim$ $2-10$ GeV. We adjust our unified nonthermal Dark Matter (DM) model to accommodate this. We have two extra scalars beyond the…

We discuss the 3.55 keV X-ray line anomaly reported by XMN-Newton X-ray observatory using data of various galaxy clusters and Andromeda galaxy in a radiative neutrino model, in which the mixing between the active neutrino and the dark…

Evidence for an excess of gamma rays with O(GeV) energy coming from the center of our galaxy has been steadily accumulating over the past several years. Recent studies of the excess in data from the Fermi telescope have cast doubt on an…

We propose that the nearly massless dark photons produced from the annihilation of keV dark fermions in the Galaxy can induce the excess of electron recoil events recently observed in the XENON1T experiment. The minimal model for this is…

TeV-mass dark matter charged under a new GeV-scale gauge force can explain electronic cosmic-ray anomalies. We propose that the CoGeNT and DAMA direct detection experiments are observing scattering of light stable states -- "GeV-Matter" --…

We propose a mechanism of elementary thermal dark matter with mass up to $10^{14}$ GeV, within a standard cosmological history, whose relic abundance is determined solely by its interactions with the Standard Model, without violating the…

We consider a local $U(1)_{B-L}$ extension of Zee-Babu model to explain the recently observed 3.5 keV X-ray line signal. The model has three Standard model (SM)-singlet Dirac fermions with different $U(1)_{B-L}$ charges. A complex scalar…

We provide updates to the limits on solar emission of dark photons, or more generally any light vector particle coupled to the electron vector current. The recent 2019 and 2020 electronic recoil data from XENON1T now provides more stringent…

Scalar field dark matter likely is able to solve all small-scale cosmology problems facing the cold dark matter (CDM), and has become an emerging contender to challenge the CDM. It however requires a particle mass $\sim 1 - 2…

We propose models of Dark Matter that account for the 511 keV photon emission from the Galactic Centre, compatibly with experimental constraints and theoretical consistency, and where the relic abundance is achieved via p-wave annihilations…

Recently, indications for an emission line at 3.55 keV have been found in the combined spectra of a large number of galaxy clusters and also in Andromeda. This line could not be identified with any known spectral line. It is tempting to…

We survey operators that can lead to a keV photon line from dark matter decay or annihilation. We are motivated in part by recent claims of an unexplained 3.5 keV line in galaxy clusters and in Andromeda, but our results could apply to any…

We present a scenario in which a remarkably simple relation linking dark matter properties and neutrino masses naturally emerges. This framework points towards a low energy theory where the neutrino mass originates from the existence of a…
