# Can the flyby anomaly be attributed to earth-bound dark matter?

Stephen L. Adler, 2009. _Physical Review D 79(2), 023505_.

Estimates whether scattering off dark matter bound to Earth could explain anomalies of both signs; requires densities many orders above the galactic halo and dark matter properties unlike those usually assumed.
