Collisional Dark Matter and Galaxies

The following movies were made by my colleague, Mark Vogelsberger. They show the three dimensional structure (via the camera rotation) of th...

Just a quick post to share that I just realized that our paper based on ETHOs was mentioned on astrobites. You can read about this astrobit...

Back in December we submitted a second paper in our efforts towards developing ETHOS. On this paper, we use the effective mapping developed...

We have taken the first major step towards developing ETHOS! As I described in a previous post, we have assembled a team of theoretical phys...

Given the success of our paper on SIDM and DAOs, I have decided to expand the scope of this Marie Curie project by developing a generalizati...

A short post to share that one of the figures in our paper on the combined effect of self-interacting dark matter and dark acoustic oscilla...

After many conversations with particle physicists and cosmologists working on particle models of dark matter, I became aware of the possibil...

Together with Mark Vogelsberger, Christine Simpson and Adrian Jenkins, we have performed the first simulation in the world within the cosmol...

In a series of posts I have given some background information about the exciting possibility that dark matter might be self-interacting. Tha...

In the last post I briefly described how galaxies form within dark matter haloes, which form in time due to gravity starting from the initia...

One of the reasons why we believe dark matter exists is that it is necessary to understand how galaxies came to be starting from the primord...

When I talk about uncovering the nature of dark matter as a particle, I mean that we would like to know the basic properties of the dark mat...

Hello! This is a first post to kickstart this blog about my recently funded research project: The impact of collisional dark matter in gal...
