In the frame of indirect dark matter searches we investigate the flux of high-energy $\gamma$-ray photons produced by annihilation of dark matter in caustics within our Galaxy under the hypothesis that the bulk of dark matter is composed of…
Light dark matter annihilating into electron-positron pairs emits a significant amount of internal bremsstrahlung that may contribute to the cosmic gamma-ray background. The amount of emitted gamma-rays depends on the dark matter clumping…
Two general problems arise when interpreting the recent cosmic ray data as signals of Dark Matter (DM) annihilation: (i) the required cross section is too large by O(100), and (ii) the annihilation products seem to be mostly leptonic. We…
If the dark matter in the Universe is made of weakly self-interacting particles, they may self-annihilate and emit gamma-rays. We use high resolution numerical simulations to estimate directly the annihilation flux from the central regions…
Galaxy flybys, interactions where two independent halos inter-penetrate but detach at a later time and do not merge, occur frequently at lower redshifts. These interactions can significantly impact the evolution of individual galaxies -…
In this work, we extend the model proposed by White concerning the post-collapse evolution of density peaks while considering the role of angular momentum. On a timescale smaller than the peak collapse, $t_{0}$, the inner regions of the…
An observer that is moving towards a high-density region sees, on average, a higher matter density and more foreground-emitting sources ahead than behind themself. Consequently, the average abundance and luminosity of objects producing…
Directional detection is an important way to detect dark matter. An input to these experiments is the dark matter velocity distribution. Recent hydrodynamical simulations have shown that the dark matter velocity distribution differs…
The signals expected in WIMP direct detection experiments depend on the ultra-local dark matter distribution. Observations probe the local density, circular speed and escape speed, while simulations find velocity distributions that deviate…
The decay and annihilation cross sections of dark matter particles may depend on the value of a chameleonic scalar field that both evolves cosmologically and takes different values depending on the local matter density. This possibility…
Here we provide shadow images of a Kerr-like black hole (BH) in cold dark matter (CDM) halo illuminated with a celestial light source and a thin accretion disk. The impact of spin parameter, critical density and the scale radius on the…
N-body simulations of dark matter halos show that the density is cusped near the center of the halo. The density profile behaves as $r^{-\gamma}$ in the inner parts, where $\gamma \simeq 1$ for the NFW model and $\gamma \simeq 1.5$ for the…
Can N-body simulations reliably determine the structural properties of dark matter halos? Focussing on a Virgo-sized galaxy cluster, we increase the resolution of current ``high resolution simulations'' by almost an order of magnitude to…
The velocity distribution function (VDF) of the hypothetical Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), currently the most favored candidate for the Dark Matter (DM) in the Galaxy, is determined directly from the circular speed…
Dark matter self-annihilation holds promise as one of the most robust mechanisms for the identification of the particle responsible for the Universe's missing mass. In this work, I examine the evolution of the dark matter annihilation power…
We reexamine the consequences of perturbative unitarity on dark matter freeze-out when both Sommerfeld enhancement and bound state formation affect dark matter annihilations. At leading order (LO) the annihilation cross-section is infrared…
Although most proposed dark matter candidates are stable, in order for dark matter to be present today, the only requirement is that its lifetime is longer than the age of the Universe, t_U ~ 4 10^17 s. Moreover, the dark matter particle…
We study the distribution functions of mass and circular velocity for dark matter halos in N-body simulations of the $\Lambda$CDM cosmology, addressing redshift and environmental dependence. The dynamical range enables us to resolve…
Dark matter annihilation has the potential to leave an imprint on the properties of the first luminous structures at Cosmic Dawn as well as the overall evolution of the intergalactic medium (IGM). In this work, we employ a semi-analytic…
Coulomb-like interactions typically has a cross section scales with velocity dependence as $\sigma=\sigma_0 v^{-4}$. The momentum transfer rate between a slightly charged dark matter and ionized particles increases significantly at low…
