X-Ray Constraints on Dark Matter in Galaxy Clusters and Elliptical Galaxies: A View from Chandra and XMM
Abstract
Description
I review constraints on the radial density profiles and ellipticities of the dark matter obtained from recent X-ray observations with Chandra and XMM of elliptical galaxies and galaxy clusters and discuss their implications, especially for the self-interacting dark matter model.
