Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) can create sufficiently large cores in dark matter haloes of dwarf galaxies if the self-interaction cross-section is sufficiently large on scales of dwarf galaxies. Such a large cross-section can be realized without changing the densities and shapes of cluster-size haloes by introducing a velocity dependent cross-section. Lowering the central densities of dwarf-size haloes, however, may change the strength of stellar feedback required to reproduce observed properties of dwarf galaxies such as the luminosity function of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies. We perform simulations of galaxy formation by employing such a velocity dependent self-interaction cross-section to investigate the coupled effect of SIDM and feedback.
