Self-Interacting Dark Matter Solves the Diversity Problem in Galactic Rotation Curves

Self-Interacting Dark Matter (SIDM) posits that dark matter particles interact with each other. In contrast, the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm states that dark matter particles do not experience collisions. SIDM was theorized to address problems on small scales, like the density profiles of dwarf galaxies being too dense in their cores with a CDM…Continue Reading Self-Interacting Dark Matter Solves the Diversity Problem in Galactic Rotation Curves
