83. Paradigms and Scenarios for the Dark Matter

Prof. Paolo Salucci (SISSA)

Invited talk

The deeper we go into the knowledge of the dark component that embeds the stellar component of galaxies, the more we realize the profound interconnection which is present between the two of them. The scaling laws among the structural properties of the dark and luminous matter in disc systems are too complex to be arisen by two inert components that just share the same gravitational field....

46. The Dark Matter distribution of the Milky Way (its astrophysical uncertainties and effects on determination of physics beyond the standard model)

Prof. Fabio Iocco (Imperial College / Università di Napoli)

12/11/2019, 14:00

Invited talk

The distribution of Dark Matter in galaxies is one remarkable output of structure formation in a cosmological context, and an important input for the searches of the nature of Dark Matter. In this talk I will present the results of recent, fully data-driven analysis of the determination of the Dark Matter content and distribution in the Milky Way.
I will also highlight the current...

64. Varieties of DM density profile in Galactic dwarf spheroidal galaxies and the gamma-ray search of the annihilation signature

Dr Nagisa Hiroshima (Riken)

Invited talk

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) are good targets to search for dark matter annihilation signals through gamma-ray observations. Currently, the most strong constraints on the cross-section at mDM<~100GeV are obtained by observing them with Fermi-LAT. The dark matter distribution in dSphs is difficult to model and the errors in the current constraints are dominated by those in the J-factor. In...
