Astronomical Insights into Dark Matter Particle Constraints
Abstract
Intriguing constraints on key dark matter properties have been made through diverse astronomical measurements and experiments, not limited to the clustering of Lyman-alpha forest observations, the structure and energetics of the Bullet Cluster, the kinematics and dynamics of dwarf galaxies, statistics of strong gravitational lensing systems, and so on. We present a synthesis of the diversity of such observations, and discuss the relationship between the types of dark matter particle constraints they achieve.
