Challenging dark matter through neutrinos (D03)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields ; Astrophysics and Astronomy
• Term: since 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 283604770

This project continues exploring neutrino signals as probes for dark matter across various astrophysical phenomena to advance the understanding of dark matter properties and their interaction with neutrinos. Subproject A investigates the origin of high-energy neutrinos from the active galactic nucleus of NGC 1068; Subproject B explores the formation of neutrino spikes around supermassive black holes; Subproject C studies the attenuation of ultrahigh-energy neutrinos by dark matter interactions, and Subproject D analyzes potential neutrino signals from dark matter decay or annihilation in compact dark stars.
