The scale-free gravothermal fluid formalism has long proved effective in describing the evolution of self-interacting dark matter halos with a constant dark matter particle cross section. However, whether the gravothermal fluid solutions match numerical simulations for velocity-dependent cross-section scenarios remains untested. In this work, we provide a fast mapping method that relates the constant-cross-section gravothermal solution to models with arbitrary velocity dependence in the cross section. We show that the gravothermal solutions after mapping are in good agreement with Arepo N-Body simulation results. We illustrate the power of this approach by applying this fast mapping method to a halo hosting a low surface brightness galaxy UGC 128. We show that this fast mapping method can be used to constrain free parameters in a physically motivated cross-section model and illustrate parameter space favored by the rotation curve measurement.

  1. A Novel Implementation of Self-Interacting Dark Matter in AREPO

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    A dedicated-tree Monte-Carlo SIDM module in AREPO-2 conserves energy/momentum under multiple scatters, supports velocity-dependent and inelastic models, and runs with only modest overhead versus CDM except in late cor...

  2. Probing Dark Matter Substructure with Wave-Optics Distortions of Strongly Lensed LISA Gravitational Waves

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Simulated four-year-LISA lensed waveforms show fuzzy-dark-matter substructure leaves a frequency-dependent phase residual that distinguishes it from NFW or self-interacting halos with ~60–110 resolved images.

  3. The diffraction-lensing interpretation of GW231123 with astrophysical priors

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    GW231123 is better fit by a lower-mass merger diffracted by an isolated ~1000 M_sun lens, but astrophysical priors and a frequentist rate estimate make this lensing interpretation unlikely.

    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.

    A QCD-like dark sector with a theta vacuum and a dark photon portal can simultaneously reproduce the dark matter relic abundance and produce the sharply velocity-dependent self-interactions inferred from small-scale s...
