USC-Led Team Illuminates Dark Matter Through Milky Way Twin Simulations
- A USC-led research initiative pioneers new simulations to unveil dark matter mysteries through Milky Way twin models.
- Utilizing the COZMIC project, these simulations explore dark matter, constituting 85% of matter in the universe.
- Dark matter's gravitational effects, proposed by Zwicky, lead to unseen mass influencing galactic motions.
- COZMIC simulations go beyond cold dark matter models, allowing dark matter to interact with regular matter.
- Associate professor Vera Gluscevic and collaborators delve into dark matter physics across cosmic epochs.
- The studies investigate varied dark matter scenarios impacting galaxy formation and structure.
- Models explore dark matter behaving as billiard balls, having ultralight mass, and engaging with normal matter.
- Self-interacting dark matter models alter galactic halos, addressing cosmological puzzles like the core-cusp problem.
- COZMIC simulations track quantum physics parameters, allowing for empirical tests against astronomical observations.
- The research aims to bridge simulation with telescope observations to identify dark matter's true nature.
