We study the formation of dark halos in a $\Lambda$CDM universe under the assumption that Cold Dark Matter particles have a finite cross-section for elastic collisions. We compare evolution when CDM mean free paths are comparable to halo…
According to the now strongly supported concordance $\Lambda$CDM model, galaxies may be grossly described as a luminous component embedded in a dark matter halo. The density profile of these mass dominating haloes may be determined by N -…
Dark matter (DM) occupies the majority of matter content in the universe and is probably cold (CDM). However, modifications to the standard CDM model may be required by the small-scale observations, and DM may be self-interacting (SIDM) or…
Gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters has emerged as a powerful tool to probe the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm of structure formation in the Universe. Despite the remarkable explanatory power of CDM on large scales, tensions…
Within the framework of the cold dark matter (CDM) cosmogony, a central cusp in the density profiles of virialized dark haloes is predicted. This prediction disagrees with the soft inner halo mass distribution inferred from observations of…
The idea of Dark Matter (DM) with self interaction was invoked to resolve a number of discrepancies between the simulation based predictions by collisionless cold DM and the astrophysical observations on galactic and subgalactic scales.…
In this work, we discuss the relation between the strength of the self-interaction of dark matter particles and the predicted properties of the inner density distributions of dark matter haloes. We present the results of $N$-body…
Small-scale discrepancies in the standard Lambda cold dark matter paradigm have motivated the exploration of alternative dark matter (DM) models, such as warm dark matter (WDM). We investigate the constraining power of galaxy scaling…
Simulations are expected to be the powerful tool to investigate the baryon effects on dark matter (DM) halos. Recent high resolution, cosmological hydrodynamic simulations (\citealt{Cintio14}, DC14) predict that the inner density profiles…
Decaying dark matter (DDM) affects the evolution of cosmic structure relative to standard cold, collisionless, stable dark matter (CDM). We introduce a new semianalytic model for the effects of two-body DDM on halo structure and subhalo…
We have derived the first, fully-cosmological, similarity solutions for CDM halo formation in the presence of nongravitational collisionality, which provides an analytical theory of the effect of the self-interacting dark matter (SIDM)…
One of the predictions of the standard CDM is that dark haloes have centrally divergent density profiles. An extensive body of rotation curve observations of dwarf and low surface brightness galaxies shows the dark haloes of those systems…
The short distance behavior of dark matter (DM) at galaxy scales exhibits several features not explained by the typical cold dark matter (CDM) with velocity-independent cross-section. We discuss a particle physics model with a hidden sector…
The nature of dark matter remains unknown, motivating the study of fuzzy/wave dark matter (FDM/$\psi$DM) and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) as alternative frameworks to address small-scale discrepancies in halo profiles inferred from…
Studying the smallest self-bound dark matter structure in our Universe can yield important clues about the fundamental particle nature of dark matter. Galaxy-scale strong gravitational lensing provides a unique way to detect and…
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is a simple and well-motivated scenario that could explain long-standing puzzles in structure formation on small scales. If the required self-interaction arises through a light mediator (with mass $\sim…
Self-interactions facilitate inter-particle redistribution of energy within the dense regions of galactic halos, implying modifications in the density and velocity distribution of dark matter. Simulating dark-matter only isolated halos for…
Dark-matter-dominated dwarf galaxies provide an excellent laboratory for testing dark matter models at small scale and, in particular, the ultralight dark matter (ULDM) class of models. Within the framework of self-interacting bosonic dark…
Self-interacting dark matter may have striking astrophysical signatures, such as observable offsets between galaxies and dark matter in merging galaxy clusters. Numerical N-body simulations used to predict such observables typically treat…
We adopt the fluid conduction approximation to study the evolution of spherical star clusters and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos. We also explore the formation and dynamical impact of density cusps that arise in both systems due…
