Hi, I'm new, so this may be on the wrong board, but I thought it was more particle-energy-stuff than astro.
So to the point - dark matter is non interacting with EM fields, and can't emit photons. Yes?
OK, given this, how could dark matter lose energy. For example, when normal matter is accelerated in a circle we can get synchrotron radiation. If you could set up something similar (but non-em induced) then dark matter can't lose energy by photon emission. Maybe it would be some kind of thermal emission.. but does that make any sense either..?
I am unaware of any kind of dark matter energy loss mechanisms having been discussed, and I was just wondering if anyone could answer this or point me to a paper where this kind of idea is investigated.
