abstract

Using the OSIRIS-REx mission and ground-based tracking data for the asteroid Bennu, we derive new constraints on fifth forces and ultralight dark matter. The bounds we obtain are strongest for mediator masses $m \sim 10^{-18} - 10^{-17}\,{\rm eV}$, where we currently achieve the tightest bounds. Our limits can be translated to a wide class of models leading to Yukawa-type fifth forces, and we demonstrate how they apply to $U(1)_B$ dark photons and baryon-coupled scalars. Our results demonstrate the potential of asteroid tracking in probing well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model and ultralight dark matter satisfying the fuzzy dark matter constraints.

  1. Gravity Probe-DM: The Gravitational Laboratory for Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Proposal for a heliocentric two-spacecraft ranging mission (Gravity Probe-DM) to measure the tidal field of the Sun's dark-matter focusing wake, with raw range scales of ~0.6 pm to ~15 nm.

  2. Searching for ultralight bosons with Josephson junction interferometry

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Josephson junctions can detect ultralight boson potentials through induced phase shifts, enabling probes of photophilic scalars, Lorentz-violating scalars, and axion monopole-dipole interactions depending on source po...

  3. Exploring the interplay of late-time dynamical dark energy and new physics before recombination

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    Under standard recombination, phantom-crossing dynamical dark energy is preferred at ~97–98.5% probability; early-time fixes to the Hubble tension erase that preference while creating severe ω_m tension with CMB.

  4. Exploring the interplay of late-time dynamical dark energy and new physics before recombination

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Model-independent reconstruction finds 96.7-98.5% probability of phantom crossing if recombination is standard, but early new physics to ease Hubble tension weakens this preference while requiring unrealistically high...

  5. Direct detection of solar chameleons with electron recoil data from XENONnT

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    XENONnT electron-recoil data bound solar chameleons to log10 β_eff < −6.9, independent of the potential index n for inverse power-law chameleons at the dark-energy scale.
