"Dark Matter in the Smallest Galaxies" I will discuss how use the motions of stars to learn about
the nature of particles. More specifically, I will review the stellar
kinematics observed in the Milky Way's dwarf-galactic satellites and then
discuss how such observations can translate into a test of the standard
hypothesis that dark matter consists of 'cold' and 'collisionless'
(i.e. weakly interacting) particles. This model seems to require
that baryon-driven processes (e.g. energetic feedback
from supernova explosions) alter the internal structure of galactic dark
matter halos systematically with respect to predictions derived from
cosmological N-body simulations. I will describe future observations that
may tell whether such reconciliation is energetically feasible
or whether the dark matter model requires additional complexity. Carnegie-Mellon University host: Andrew Mann |
