We explore the low energy cosmological dynamics of feebly self-interacting cold dark matter and propose a new simple explanation for the rotation curves of the core-halo model in massive LSB (Low Surface brightness)galaxies. We argue in favor of the truly collisionless nature of cold dark matter,which is feebly,self-interacting at small scales between epochs of equality and recombination.For this, we assume a model, wherein strongly coupled baryon-radiation plasma ejects out of small regions of concentrated cold dark matter without losing its equilibrium. We use the Merscerskii equation i.e. the variable mass formalism of classical dynamics.We obtain new results relating the oscillations in the CMB anisotropy to the ejection velocity of the baryon-radiation plasma,which can be useful tool for numerical work for exploring the second peak of CMB. Based on this model, we discuss the growth of perturbations in such a feebly self-interacting,cold dark matter both in the Jeans theory and in the expanding universe using Newtons theory.We obtain an expression for the growth of fractional perturbations in cold dark matter,which reduce to the standard result of perturbation theory for late recombination epochs. We see the effect of the average of the perturbations in the cold dark matter potential on the cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropy that originated at redshifts between equality and recombination i.e. 1100 < z < z_{eq}. Also we obtain an expression for the Sachs-Wolfe effect,i.e. the CMB temperature anisotropy at decoupling in terms of the average of the perturbations in cold dark matter potential.

The sloshing of the cold gas in the cores of relaxed clusters of galaxies is a widespread phenomenon, evidenced by the presence of spiral-shaped cold fronts in X-ray observations of these systems. In simulations, these flows of cold gas readily form by interactions of the cluster core with small subclusters, due to a separation of the cold gas from the dark matter (DM), due to their markedly different collisionalities. In this work, we use numerical simulations to investigate the effects of increasing the DM collisionality on sloshing cold fronts in a cool-core cluster. For clusters in isolation, the formation of a flat DM core via self-interactions results in modest adiabatic expansion and cooling of the core gas. In merger simulations, cold fronts form in the same manner as in previous simulations, but the flattened potential in the core region enables the gas to expand to larger radii in the initial stages. Upon infall, the subclusters DM mass decreases via collisions, reducing its influence on the core. Thus, the sloshing gas moves slower, inhibiting the growth of fluid instabilities relative to simulations where the DM cross section is zero. This also inhibits turbulent mixing and the increase in entropy that would otherwise result. For values of the cross section $sigma/m > 1$, subclusters do not survive as self-gravitating structures for more than two core passages. Additionally, separations between the peaks in the X-ray emissivity and thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect signals during sloshing may place constraints on DM self-interactions.
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-int eracting 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 satellites 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 velocity-dependent cross sections that lead to gravothermal core collapse in the densest satellites.
A scenario for the cosmological evolution of self-interacting Bose-Einstein condensed (SIBEC) dark matter (DM) as the final product of a transition from an initial cold DM (CDM)-like phase is considered, motivated by suggestions in the literature tha t a cold DM gas might have undergone a Bose-Einstein condensate phase transition. The phenomenological model employed for the cold-SIBEC transition introduces three additional parameters to those already present in $Lambda$CDM; the strength of the DM self-interaction in the SIBEC phase, the time of the transition, and the rate of the transition. Constraints on these extra parameters are obtained from large-scale observables, using the cosmic microwave background (CMB), baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) and growth factor measurements, and type Ia supernovae (SNIa) distances. The standard cosmological parameters are found to be unchanged from $Lambda$CDM, and upper bounds on the SIBEC-DM self-interaction for the various transition times and rates are obtained. If, however, SIBEC-DM is responsible for the tendency of low-mass halos to be cored rather than cuspy, then cold-SIBEC transition times around matter-radiation equality and earlier are ruled out.
We investigate cosmological implications of an energy density contribution arising by elastic dark matter self-interactions. Its scaling behaviour shows that it can be the dominant energy contribution in the early universe. Constraints from primordia l nucleosynthesis give an upper limit on the self-interaction strength which allows for the same strength as standard model strong interactions. Furthermore we explore the cosmological consequences of an early self-interaction dominated universe. Chemical dark matter decoupling requires that self-interacting dark matter particles are rather light (keV range) but we find that super-weak inelastic interactions are predicted by strong elastic dark matter self-interactions. Assuming a second, collisionless cold dark matter component, its natural decoupling scale exceeds the weak scale and is in accord with the electron and positron excess observed by PAMELA and Fermi-LAT. Structure formation analysis reveals a linear growing solution during self-interaction domination, enhancing structures up to ~ 10^(-3) solar masses long before the formation of the first stars.
We explore the phenomenology of having a second epoch of dark matter annihilation into dark radiation long after the standard thermal freeze-out. Such a hidden reannihilation process could affect visible sectors only gravitationally. As a concrete re alization we consider self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) with a light force mediator coupled to dark radiation. We demonstrate how resonantly Sommerfeld enhanced cross sections emerge to induce the reannihilation epoch. The effect is a temporally local modification of the Hubble expansion rate and we show that the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) measurements -- as well as other observations -- have a high sensitivity to observe this phenomenon. Special attention is given to the model region where late kinetic decoupling and strong self-interactions can alleviate several small-scale problems in the cold dark matter paradigm at the same time. Interestingly, we find that reannihilation might here also simultaneously lower the tension between CMB and low-redshift astronomical observations of $H_{0}$ and $sigma_{8}$. Moreover, we identify reannihilation as a clear signature to discriminate between the phenomenologically otherwise almost identical vector and scalar mediator realizations of SIDM.
