Using the Milky Way satellites to study interactions between cold dark matter and radiation (2014)
Journal Article

The cold dark matter (CDM) model faces persistent challenges on small scales. In particular, the model significantly overestimates the number of satellite galaxies around the Milky Way. Attempts to solve this problem remain controversial and have eve... Read More about Using the Milky Way satellites to study interactions between cold dark matter and radiation.
