Arturo M2 : {#arturo_m2}

Arturo presented his work during his M2 internship at LAM. This is about
the assumptions on the velocity distribution of dark matter in the solar
neighborhood and its impact on the dark matter capture in the Sun. He
reproduces first the calculations of Choi et al paper
(http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.0273) and he's now going further with more
complex cases taking advantage of recent cosmological simulations of MW
like objects.

He will investigate this deeper during his PhD granted by OCEVU
(https://www.labex-ocevu.univ-amu.fr/?q=fr/node/351) between LAM and
CPPM.

  • http://arxiv.org/abs/1605.02770 The question of the presence of a dark disk in the Milky Way due to the disruption of dark matter satelites when they pass through the baryonic disk is takled using recent EAgles/Apostle cosmological simulations. Those simualations do not show any significant dark disk component in the dark matter distribution around 8 kpc from the center.
