We study gravothermal evolution of dark matter halos in the presence of differential self-scattering that has strong velocity and angular dependencies. We design controlled N-body simulations to model Rutherford and Moller scatterings in the halo, and follow its evolution in both core-expansion and -collapse phases. The simulations show the commonly-used transfer cross section underestimates the effects of dark matter self-interactions, but the viscosity cross section provides an accurate approximation for modeling angular-dependent dark matter scattering. We investigate thermodynamic properties of the halo, and find that the three moments of the Boltzmann equation under the fluid approximation are satisfied. We further propose a constant effective cross section, which integrates over the halo's characteristic velocity dispersion with weighting kernels motivated by kinetic theory of heat conduction. The effective cross section provides a good approximation to differential self-scattering for most of the halo evolution. It indicates that we can map astrophysical constraints on a constant self-interacting cross section to an SIDM model with velocity- and angular-dependent scatterings.

Gravothermal collapse of isolated self-interacting dark matter haloes: N-body simulation versus the fluid model
自相互作用暗物质(SIDM)是冷暗物质(CDM)的一种碰撞形式,最初被提出来解决当结构形成的无碰撞CDM理论与小尺度星系的观测进行比较时出现的问题。所提出的弹性碰撞对结构形成的定量影响已经估计以前的Monte Carlo N-体模拟和导电流体模型,明显分歧的结果。为了改善这种情况,我们直接比较新的Monte Carlo N-体模拟和解决方案的导电流体模型,孤立的SIDM晕的固定质量。这使我们能够清楚地将重力热弛豫的影响与膨胀背景宇宙中连续质量吸积的影响分开。当这两种方法以前被应用于晕形成与宇宙学边界条件,他们不同意的数量级的散射截面的大小需要解决所谓的“尖核问题。“然而,我们在这里表明,对于孤立的晕,这些方法在20%以内相互一致。这表明这两种方法是一致的,它们对宇宙学晕的分歧并不是由于它们的有效性被打破。这里研究的孤立晕经历重力热塌缩。我们比较了这两种方法计算的解决方案重力热坍塌从几个初始条件。这使我们能够校准热传导,其中考虑到流体模型中弹性硬球散射的影响。然而,要使这两种方法在孤立晕上接近一致,所需的热导率参数的调整量太小,无法解释以前在宇宙学背景下发现的差异。

The diverse dark matter density at sub-kiloparsec scales in Milky Way satellites:implications for the nature of dark matter
银河系(MW)卫星居住在暗物质(DM)的subhalos与广泛的分布的圆形速度剖面。这种多样性随着超微弱卫星的加入而增强,这些卫星似乎具有非常高的DM密度,尽管具有很大的系统不确定性。我们认为,如果得到证实,这种大的MW卫星人口的多样性构成了一个严重的考验,DM性质的结构形成理论与可能的影响。对于冷暗物质模型,多样性可能是由MW盘和强超新星反馈引起的晕下潮汐破坏的综合效应的特征。对于功率谱中具有矮尺度截止的模型,多样性是矮尺度晕丰度较低的结果。这种多样性是最具挑战性的自相互作用暗物质(SIDM)模型的横截面$σ/m_χ\gtrsim1~$ cm $^2$ g $^{-1}$的subhalos有太低的密度来解释超微弱的星系。我们提出了一个新的解决方案来解释MW卫星的多样性的基础上重力热塌陷的SIDM晕。这种解决方案需要一个速度依赖的截面,预测双峰分布的尖形密集(崩溃)subhaloes符合超微弱的卫星,和核心的低密度subhaloes符合较亮的卫星。
