Galactic Center Phenomenon Points to Potential New Form of Dark Matter

Dark Matter May Be Annihilating Itself at the Heart of the Milky Way

A strange energy source at the center of the Milky Way may be a new type of dark matter. Scientists found that hydrogen gas there is ionized in an unexpected way, which cosmic rays can’t explain. Instead, they propose that lightweight dark matter particles are colliding and producing charged particles. This could reshape how we [...]

An induced annual modulation signature in COSINE-100 data by DAMA/LIBRA’s analysis method

The DAMA/LIBRA collaboration has reported the observation of an annual modulation in the event rate that has been attributed to dark matter interactions over the last two decades. However, even though tremendous efforts to detect similar dark matter interactions were pursued, no definitive evidence has been observed to corroborate the DAMA/LIBRA signal. Many studies assuming various dark matter models have attempted to reconcile DAMA/LIBRA’s mod…

We know that Sagittarius A* (Sag A*), the black hole that inhabits the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, is supermassive, and quickly rotates dragging space-time with it. And this small detail, its rotational velocity, which at first glance might seem nimius, hides in itself clues about its formation process.

Dark Matter Could Be Charging Up Hydrogen in the Milky Way

Dark matter - that mysterious, unknown stuff that's detectable only by its effect on other matter - seems to be sparking strong emissions at the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Source of Mystery Radio Signal Traced to Clash of Magnetic Titans

From across the Milky Way galaxy, something has been sending out signals.

The Heart of the Milky Way May Host a New Form of Dark Matter
