Large self interactions between dark matter particles allow for efficient heat transfer within a dark matter halo, altering halo properties from LCDM predictions and thereby potentially alleviating small-scale structure formation puzzles. These properties can be explored using a semianalytic approach in which the halo is modeled as a gravothermal fluid. In this talk, I will describe the phases...
Asteroid-mass primordial black holes (PBH) can explain the observed dark matter abundance while being consistent with the current indirect detection constraints. These PBH can produce gamma-ray signals from Hawking radiation that are within the sensitivity of future measurements by the AMEGO and e-ASTROGAM experiments. PBH which give rise to such observable gamma-ray signals have a cosmic...
