论文摘要
暗物质模型可以根据其对星系特性的影响进行分类,包括冷暗物质(CDM),温暖的暗物质(WDM),自相互作用的暗物质(SIDM)和模糊的暗物质(FDM)。为了庆祝《愚人节》,以及冰岛2022年火山喷发爆发成立1周年,我们探索了新鲜的熔岩作为WDM的候选人。我们第一手验证了熔岩确实很温暖(在喷发结束后几个月表现出自由流,并保留温度,为1000k,将火放到草地上,可以感觉到自己的眉毛在4m的距离为4m),一旦与其生产源充分脱钩。
Dark matter models can be classified according to their impact on the properties of galaxies, including cold dark matter (CDM), warm dark matter (WDM), self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) and fuzzy dark matter (FDM). In celebration of April Fool's Day, and also of the 1-year anniversary of the start of the 2022 volcanic eruption at Fagradalsfjall here in Iceland, we explore fresh lava as a candidate for WDM specifically. We verify first hand that lava is indeed warm (exhibits free-streaming and retains temperature for several months after the eruption ends, is 1000K, sets fire to grass, can feel one's eyebrows singe at a distance of 4m) and dark once sufficiently decoupled from its source of production.
