Resuelto el misterio de la galaxia sin materia oscura
Un grupo de investigadores del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) ha aclarado uno de los misterios del año 2018 en el mundo de la astrofísica...
Resuelven el enigma de la extraña galaxia compuesta en un 99,99% de materia oscura
La formación de galaxias no se puede entender hoy sin la presencia de un componente omnipresente, pero aún misterioso, llamado materia oscura. Los astrónomos...
Retuning radio astronomy for axion dark matter with neutron stars
A model is constructed to predict the emission originating from axion-to-photon conversion in the strongly magnetized ultrarelativistic plasma of neutron stars...
Robust Measurement of Stellar Streams around the Milky Way: Correcting Spatially Variable Observational Selection Effects in Optical Imaging Surveys
Observations of density variations in stellar streams are a promising probe of low-mass dark matter substructure in the Milky Way. However, survey systematics...
SAMUEL TING: “Si se está completamente de acuerdo con la teoría, no se aprende nada”
“Aún recuerdo ver la superficie de la Luna desde el Observatorio del Teide”. Jamás olvidaría la imagen. Nítida, cercana y brillante. Era la primera vez que...
Satellites around Massive Galaxies Since z ~ 2: Confronting the Millennium Simulation with Observations
Minor merging has been postulated as the most likely evolutionary path to produce the increase in size and mass observed in the massive galaxies since z ~ 2. In...
Search for associated production of dark matter with a Higgs boson decaying to b\overline{b} or γγ at √{s}=13 TeV
A search for dark matter is performed looking for events with large missing transverse momentum and a Higgs boson decaying either to a pair of bottom quarks or...
Search for dark matter in events with energetic, hadronically decaying top quarks and missing transverse momentum at √{s}=13 TeV
A search for dark matter is conducted in events with large missing transverse momentum and a hadronically decaying, Lorentz-boosted top quark. This study is...
Search for dark matter produced with an energetic jet or a hadronically decaying W or Z boson at √{s}=13 TeV
A search for dark matter particles is performed using events with large missing transverse momentum, at least one energetic jet, and no leptons, in proton...
