Galactic Dark Matter Halos Containing H i Regions: A Possible Overestimation of the Column Densities

Eugene Oks

Summary: We analyze how the column density of hydrogen atoms in the H i regions can be determined in dark matter halos of galaxies. The possible presence of the Second Flavor of Hydrogen Atoms (SFHA) is investigated, and neglecting SFHA leads to overestimation of the column density by about 30%. These simple estimates aim to convey a message and inspire further theoretical and experimental studies.

Stringballs and Planckballs for dark matter

Zhongyou Mo et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the formation of gravitationally interacting bound states in different theoretical frameworks when the energy meets certain conditions. These bound states can serve as candidates for dark matter and as seeds for the formation of large-scale structures in the Cosmos.

Dark matter as an effect of a minimal length

Pasquale Bosso et al.

Summary: This study investigates the implications of a phenomenological model of quantum gravitational effects associated with a minimal length. It derives a modified law of gravity through Verlinde's conjecture, utilizing the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. The study explores the effects on galactic scales, particularly on the shape of rotational curves, and examines the potential to mimic dark matter-like effects using a minimal length.

Strange physics of dark baryons

Gonzalo Alonso-Alvarez et al.

Summary: Dark decays of hadronic states containing strange quarks, known as hyperons, provide a promising framework for understanding the origin of dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. By calculating the relevant matrix elements and considering various constraints, we determine the expected rates of hyperon decays at hyperon factories like BESIII and LHCb. We also uncover interesting theoretical connections between hyperon dark decays, the neutron lifetime anomaly, and mesogenesis.

Brief review of recent advances in understanding dark matter and dark energy

Eugene Oks

Summary: Studies on dark sector, comprising about 95% of the Universe, are ongoing with recent theoretical advances focusing on models of dark matter, dark energy, and alternative explanations for observed effects. Recent research covers particle and non-particle models of dark matter, disputes regarding dark energy, and new hypothetical types of dark matter, providing insights into the dynamics of the Universe's expansion.

DES map shows a smoother distribution of matter than expected: a possible explanation

Eugene Oks

Summary: The Dark Energy Survey team has recently created the largest and most detailed map of dark matter distribution in the Universe. The distribution was found to be slightly smoother and less clumpy than predicted by general relativity. The team's study suggests a hint of new physical laws, but the model presented in the paper offers a simpler explanation without relying on any new laws.

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Curved-sky weak lensing mass map reconstruction

N. Jeffrey et al.

Summary: Reconstructed mass maps from DES Y3 weak gravitational lensing data were presented, using four different methods implemented on the celestial sphere. The performance of the methods was quantified using simulations closely matched to the DES Y3 data, and systematic error tests were conducted. The recovered dark matter map showed the largest sky coverage of any galaxy weak lensing map to date, and was used for evaluating cosmic-void profiles.

Lensing Effects in Retarded Gravity

Asher Yahalom

Summary: Galaxies are massive physical systems with changes at the center affecting the rim tens of millennia later. Current models may overlook retardation effects, leading to discrepancies between predicted and observed velocities. By considering general relativistic effects and non-dark matter, excess matter causing gravitational lensing can be explained.

Effects of Higher Order Retarded Gravity

Asher Yahalom

Summary: In our recent study, we have shown that the flattening of galactic rotation curves can be explained by retardation, with a temporal change of galactic mass. After considering analysis to all orders, we have found that a second order analysis will suffice and higher order terms can be neglected.

Cosmological and astrophysical probes of dark baryons

David McKeen et al.

Summary: This study examines the cosmological and astrophysical signatures of a dark baryon that mixes with neutrons, discussing enhanced production at high energies and constraints from various sources such as primordial nucleosynthesis, the cosmic microwave background, and neutron decays in neutron stars. The research identifies parameter space where the dark baryon can be a viable dark matter candidate and explores potential avenues for further investigation.
