abstract = {We investigate what the orbits of globular clusters (GCs)
in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy can teach us
about dark matter (DM). This problem was recently studied
for ultralight dark matter (ULDM). We consider two
additional models: (i) fermionic degenerate dark matter
(DDM), where Pauli blocking should be taken into account in
the dynamical friction computation; and (ii)
self-interacting dark matter (SIDM). We give a simple and
direct Fokker-Planck derivation of dynamical friction, new
in the case of DDM and reproducing previous results in the
literature for ULDM and cold DM. ULDM, DDM and SIDM were
considered in the past as leading to cores in dSphs, a
feature that acts to suppress dynamical friction and prolong
GC orbits. For DDM we derive a version of the cosmological
free streaming limit that is independent of the DM
production mechanism, finding that DDM cannot produce an
appreciable core in Fornax without violating Ly-α limits.
If the Ly-α limit is discounted for some reason, then
stellar kinematics data does allow a DDM core which could
prolong GC orbits. For SIDM we find that significant
prolongation of GC orbits could be obtained for values of
the self-interaction cross section considered in previous
works. In addition to reassessing the inspiral time using
updated observational data, we give a new perspective on the
so-called GC timing problem, demonstrating that for a cuspy
cold DM profile dynamical friction predicts a z=0 radial
distribution for the innermost GCs that is independent of
initial conditions. The observed orbits of Fornax GCs are
consistent with this expectation with a mild apparent
fine-tuning at the level of $∼25\%.$},
