Self-interacting Dark Matter Interpretation of Crater II

The satellite galaxy Crater II of the Milky Way is extremely cold and exceptionally diffuse. These unusual properties are challenging to understand in the standard model of cold dark matter. We use controlled N -body simulations to investigate the formation of Crater II in self-interacting dark matt...
