Snakes on a Plane: do Milky Way stellar streams and globular clusters align in a Vast Polar Structure?

1 code implementation30 Jan 2020 Alexander H. Riley, Louis E. Strigari

Using systemic proper motions inferred from Gaia data, we find that globular cluster orbital poles are not clustered in the VPOS direction, though the population with the highest VPOS membership fraction is the young halo clusters (~30%).

Effective $J$-factors for Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies with velocity-dependent annihilation

1 code implementation29 Sep 2019 Kimberly K. Boddy, Jason Kumar, Andrew B. Pace, Jack Runburg, Louis E. Strigari

Due to the assumptions made in our gamma-ray data analysis, our bounds are comparable to previous bounds on both the $p$-wave and Sommerfeld-enhanced cross sections using dSphs.

The velocity anisotropy of the Milky Way satellite system

2 code implementations24 Oct 2018 Alexander H. Riley, Azadeh Fattahi, Andrew B. Pace, Louis E. Strigari, Carlos S. Frenk, Facundo A. Gómez, Robert J. J. Grand, Federico Marinacci, Julio F. Navarro, Rüdiger Pakmor, Christine M. Simpson, Simon D. M. White

We analyse the orbital kinematics of the Milky Way (MW) satellite system utilizing the latest systemic proper motions for 38 satellites based on data from $Gaia$ Data Release 2.

Scaling Relations for Dark Matter Annihilation and Decay Profiles in Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

1 code implementation19 Feb 2018 Andrew B. Pace, Louis E. Strigari

From this compilation we test for scaling relations between the J and D-factors and physical properties of the dSphs such as the velocity dispersion ($\sigma_{\mathrm{los}}$), the distance ($d$), and the stellar half-light radius ($r_{1/2}$).
