Searching for signatures of self-interacting dark matter in halos from full-physics simulations: From 3D structure to projected observables
In this work we explore the imprints of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) on the structure of simulated galaxy groups and clusters in view of future optical surveys. We find that both baryonic and projection effects lead to a significant alleviation of the SIDM core-forming behavior on the mass and density profiles,...
