abstract
We propose a parametric model for studying self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos. The model uses an analytical density profile, calibrated using a controlled N-body SIDM simulation that covers the entire gravothermal evolution, including core-forming and -collapsing phases. By normalizing the calibrated density profile, we obtain a universal description for SIDM halos at any evolution phase. The model allows us to infer properties of SIDM halos based on their cold dark matter (CDM) counterparts. As a basic application, we only require two characteristic parameters of an isolated CDM halo at $z=0$. We then extend the model to incorporate effects induced by halo mass changes, such as major mergers or tidal stripping, making it applicable to both isolated halos and subhalos. The parametric model is tested and validated using cosmological zoom-in SIDM simulations available in the literature.

A dedicated-tree Monte-Carlo SIDM module in AREPO-2 conserves energy/momentum under multiple scatters, supports velocity-dependent and inelastic models, and runs with only modest overhead versus CDM except in late cor...

Cold Dark Matter and Self-Interacting Dark Matter Interpretations of Cloud-9
Cloud-9's gas profile can be fit by both cuspy CDM and cored SIDM halos, but matching cosmological halo concentrations favors SIDM with σ/m ≈ 200 cm²/g at about 3σ tension versus 7σ for CDM.

MARVELously Dark: the density profile evolution of dwarf halos in velocity-dependent SIDM
In a new SIDM simulation of isolated dwarf halos, nine low-mass halos are core-collapsed, and inner density slope—rather than central density—best tracks collapse onset and matches analytic collapse-time predictions.

Relaxing Constraints on Dark Matter Annihilation Near the Supermassive Black Hole in M87
For a Burkert cored M87 halo, the smooth halo, not the black hole density spike, controls the annihilation signal, so M87 constraints on dark matter annihilation weaken by orders of magnitude.
