Dark matter and the Solar Interior
Depending on how they scatter with nuclei, dark matter particles might affect the structure and evolution of our Sun.
Detecting dark matter with milky way ripples
Using the upcoming Gaia telescope to measure ripples in the Milky Way will allow us to detect the impact of clumps of dark matter on our host galaxy.
Dark in the Lightness
New results from stacked weak lensing measurements of over a hundred thousand galaxies show that, on large scales, light from stars appears to trace the dark matter distribution of the Universe remarkably well.
What Can Radio Emission Tell Us About Dark Matter?
Dark matter particles annihilating could potentially create electrons and positrons, generating continuum synchrotron emission. This paper attempts to find this signature in nearby dwarf galaxies.
Mysterious Gas Clouds between M31 and M33
Seven gas clouds have been found in the region between two galaxies. Are they part of a intergalactic filament or remnants from a past galaxy interaction?
Where are the positrons coming from?
In today’s astrobite, we discuss the puzzling results from the AMS-02 experiment, which has detected an excess of positrons in cosmic rays with respect to what we expect from known physical sources. Where are those positrons coming from?
