TL;DR: This analysis fully incorporates inhomogeneities in the spatial distribution and detectability of MW satellites and marginalizes over uncertainties in the mapping between galaxies and DM halos, the properties of the MW system, and the disruption of subhalos by the MW disk.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived analytic upper limits on the velocity-independent DM-baryon scattering cross section by translating the upper bound on the lowest mass of halos inferred to host satellites into a characteristic cutoff scale in the linear matter power spectrum.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used computational resources at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant No. NSF PHY-1748958 through the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics program “The Small Scale Structure of Cold(?) Dark Matter,” and grant no. NGE1656518 through the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship received by E.O.

TL;DR: In this article, a model of the galaxy-halo connection was combined with newly derived observational selection functions based on searches for satellites in photometric surveys over nearly the entire high Galactic latitude sky.

TL;DR: Drlica-Wagner et al. as discussed by the authors summarized the science case for studying the fundamental physics of dark matter with LSST and discussed the ways that LSST will complement other experiments to strengthen our understanding of the fundamental characteristics of darkmatter.
