Dwarf galaxies in CDM and SIDM with baryons: observational probes of the nature of dark matter

We present the first cosmological simulations of dwarf galaxies, which include dark matter self-interactions and baryons. We study two dwarf galaxies within cold dark matter, and four different elastic self-interacting scenarios with constant and velocity-dependent cross-sections, motivated by a new...
