Making (Dark Matter) Waves: Untangling Wave Interference in Multi-Streaming CDM

A couple of days ago I announced the publication of a new paper in the Open Journal of Astrophysics called Making (dark matter) waves: Untangling wave interference for multi-streaming dark matter by Alex Gough and Cora Uhlemann. I forgot on that occasion to mention that there is a video of a talk by the first author in the series Cosmology at Home, so I’m remedying that now by posting the video here. Enjoy!

New Publication at the Open Journal of Astrophysics

It’s time once again for me to announce another new paper at the Open Journal of Astrophysics. The new paper, published last week, is the 13th paper in Volume 5 (2022) and the 61st in all. The latest publication is entitled “Making (dark matter) waves: Untangling wave interference for multi-streaming dark matter” and the authors are Alex Gough and Cora Uhlemann (both of Newcastle University). The paper is another one for the folder marked Cosmology and Non-Galactic Astrophysics.

Here is a screen grab of the overlay which includes the  abstract:

This is a paper that’s close to one of my current research interests. I think it’s really excellent and I am very happy the authors chose to publish it in the Open Journal of Astrophysics.

As a bonus here is a groovy animated version of Figure 1 from the paper showing the development of a multi-stream region.

And if that weren’t enough here is a short talk about their work in the Cosmology From Home series by the first author Alex Gough.

Cosmological Wave Mechanics

As promised here are the slides I used for my talk yesterday at Imperial College. I stole some of them from an old presentation given by Chris Short, who was a PhD student of mine when I was at Nottingham. Chris now works for the Met Office, working on rather different application of fluid mechanics!
