The EDGES 21 cm anomaly and properties of dark matter

The recently claimed anomaly in the measurement of the 21 cm hydrogen absorption signal by EDGES at z∼17, if cosmological, requires the existence of new physics. The possible attempts to resolve the anomaly rely on either (i) cooling the hydrogen gas via new dark matter-hydrogen interactions or (ii)...
