Determination of the Dark Matter density at the solar position is critical to direct dark matter searches. Additionally, it is important to make this determination with as few assumptions as possible, as results from direct detection searches are used to explore a wide variety of theoretical models, and hidden astrophysical assumptions could bias theoretical searches. Here we present a Jeans...

Self-annihilation or decay of dark matter (DM) particles could produce high-energy gamma-rays. Owing to their proximity, high DM content, and lack of astrophysical background, dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) of the Milky Way are among the best targets for current and future gamma-ray instruments. Putting constraints on the DM particle properties requires a precise knowledge of their...

Electron and positron cosmic rays are one of the most powerful tool for astroparticle physics.
The AMS-02 Collaboration has recently released the electron, positron inclusive and positron fraction spectra measured with an incredible precision.
We performed a combined analysis of the recent AMS-02 data in a self-consistent framework where we theoretically model all the astrophysical...

Observations by ARCADE-2 and other telescopes have reported an excess in the isotropic radio background. This excess has a hard spectral index and is found to significantly exceed the expected contribution from known astrophysical sources. Specifically, previous works have suggested that the ARCADE-2 signal is unusually smooth, compared to emission which traces large scale structure. In this...

Dark matter could be captured by stars at any stage of their evolution.
By considering adiabatic contraction of the dark matter (DM) during star formation, we estimate the amount of DM trapped in stars at their birth.
We simulate the adiabatic contraction of a DM distribution during the process of the star formation, paying particular attention to the phase space distribution of the DM...
