Pair-Instability Supernovae could be the fate of some of the universe’s most massive stars. Today’s Astrobite explores if dark matter accumulated in the cores of these stars could help drive these gargantuan explosions!
Does dark matter density spike around a supermassive black hole ? New evidence might seem to suggest so. Check out more in today’s bite!
Although dark matter makes up over 80% of the total matter content of the Universe, we have yet to detect it. Today’s author’s bring a new approach to the search effort that uses Jupiter as a dark matter detector.
MOND and Dark Matter are both proposed theories to explain the flat rotation curves of galaxies…can we use simulations to tell us more about which might be the better theory?
The origin of dim supernovae known as Ca-rich transients is still not well-understood. Could it be that these rare events are set off by an encounter between a white dwarf and a primordial black hole?
What might the orbit of a primordial black hole going in and out of a Sun-like star look like?
