PERIMETER INSTITUTE RECORDED SEMINAR ARCHIVE
 | Dark matter densities on small scales and implications for dark matter models Speaker(s): Manoj Kaplinghat
Abstract: We will discuss the estimated densities of dark matter in the
central regions of galaxies and discuss their inconsistency with
the predictions of cold dark matter only simulations. We will focus on
the satellites of the Milky Way to highlight this issue and then
explore dark matter with significant self-interactions as a
viable alternative. Milky Way satellites also place stringent
constraints on WIMP dark matter models in a completely different way
through Fermi-LAT observations and we will summarize those results.
