    Strongly interacting dark matter (SIDM) models better explain galactic satellite orbits and halo sizes than cold dark matter (CDM) models. However, SIDM

    Area of Science:

    • Cosmology
    • Astrophysics
    • Particle Physics

    Background:

    • Dark matter halos are fundamental structures in the universe.
    • Current models primarily consider collisionless, weakly interacting dark matter (CDM).
    • Alternative models, such as strongly self-interacting dark matter (SIDM), warrant investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the structural properties of dark matter halos in SIDM and CDM universes.
    • To evaluate the consistency of SIDM with observational data, including galactic halo sizes and satellite orbits.

    Main Methods:

    • Simulations of SIDM and CDM universes to model halo formation and evolution.
    • Analysis of halo shapes, substructure, and satellite orbital dynamics.
    • Comparison of simulation results with observational constraints from gravitational lensing and stellar streams.

    Main Results:

    • SIDM halos are more spherical than CDM halos but can exhibit significant inner rotational flattening.
    • Substructure within SIDM halos experiences more severe ram-pressure stripping and drag compared to CDM.
    • Lensing observations and the Carina satellite's tidal radius are more consistent with SIDM predictions than CDM.
    • SIDM satellite orbits show velocity bias and circularity that align with observations of the Milky Way's satellites.

    Conclusions:

    • SIDM provides a compelling alternative to CDM, better explaining certain astrophysical observations.
    • The simplest SIDM models with singular isothermal density profiles are inconsistent with galactic rotation curves.
    • Further refinement of SIDM models is needed to reconcile all observational data.
