Constraints on ALPs and excited dark matter from the EDGES 21 cm absorption signal

The recent observation of the 21 cm absorption signal by the EDGES experiment provides a new observational window into the dynamics of the young Universe. Based on this result, we constrain the properties of ALPs and excited dark matter via the energy injections into the gaseous medium that these mo...
