Dark Galactic Subhalos and the Gaia Snail
Daniel Gilman et al 2025 ApJ 980 24 Probabilistic modeling shows that perturbations from dark subhalos can’t account for the Gaia “snail,” a spiral feature in the vertical phase-space distribution in…

New model predicts how dark matter alters gravitational-wave signals from black hole mergers
Dark matter may alter the dynamics of colliding black holes and leave a signature in their gravitational-wave emission.
New analysis of the Bullet Cluster suggests it may contain far less dark matter than previously believed
The Bullet Cluster of galaxies might only have half as much dark matter than scientists thought, or perhaps even none at all, according to a
