If primordial black holes exist, one place we might find them is in binary systems with other objects like planets or asteroids. Today’s paper explores how common these systems might be and the various ways we might go about finding them.
Today’s authors use the VERITAS telescope to hunt for dark matter in the Milky Way’s satellite galaixes!
In today’s bite, we look at a paper that investigates if self-interacting dark matter can accelerate the inspiral of supermassive black holes binaries, and if we can detect this with gravitational waves.
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.
