Dark matter self interactions can leave distinctive signatures on the properties of satellite galaxies around Milky Way--like hosts through their impact on tidal stripping, ram pressure, and gravothermal collapse. We delineate the regions of self-interacting dark matter parameter space -- specified by interaction cross section and a velocity scale -- where each of these effects dominates, and show how the relative mass loss depends on the satellite's initial mass, density profile and orbit. We obtain novel, conservative constraints in this parameter space using Milky Way satellite galaxies with notably high central densities and small pericenter distances. Our results for self-interacting dark matter models, in combination with constraints from clusters of galaxies, favor either velocity-dependent cross sections that lead to gravothermal core collapse in the densest satellites, or small cross sections which more closely resemble cold and collisionless dark matter.

  1. MARVELously Dark: the density profile evolution of dwarf halos in velocity-dependent SIDM

    astro-ph.GA 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a new SIDM simulation of isolated dwarf halos, nine low-mass halos are core-collapsed, and inner density slope—rather than central density—best tracks collapse onset and matches analytic collapse-time predictions.

  2. Self-Interacting Dark Matter with Mass Segregation: A Unified Explanation of Dwarf Cores and Small-Scale Lenses

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Two-component SIDM with velocity-dependent inter- and intra-species interactions produces mass segregation that forms dwarf cores and boosts small-scale strong lensing efficiency by a factor of a few.

  3. Bypassed Core Formation in Milky Way-Mass SIDM Halos: Implications for the Local Group Past-Pericenter Scenario

    astro-ph.GA 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    MW-mass SIDM halos bypass core formation and enter immediate core collapse due to baryonic preconditioning, allowing the compact stellar disk and bulge to survive close pericenter passages while the diffuse halo is mo...

  4. Gravothermal Collapse: Robust Against Baryonic Feedback

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Baryonic feedback mildly delays but does not stall gravothermal collapse in high-concentration SIDM halos and allows resumption in median-concentration cases, yielding feedback-history-dependent central densities.
