Dark matter and structure in the Universe

Talk

The results of the Gaia astrometric mission have ushered in a new era of "precision Galactic dynamics." Using this new phase-space map of Galactic stars with unprecedented volume, we are beginning to obtain new insights into the dark matter distribution in our Galaxy. Thanks to significant advances on the computational front, meanwhile, we can now compare these insights directly with, and test...

Indirect dark matter detection

Talk

I will discuss recent developments in indirect searches for dark matter, including a status update on the strongest current constraints from indirect detection. I will discuss the status of several excesses that have garnered interest as possible signals of dark matter, with a particular focus on the GeV gamma-ray excess in the inner Galaxy.

Talk

In the last decades an incredible amount of evidence for the existence of dark matter has been accumulating. At the same time, many efforts have been undertaken to try to identify what dark matter is.
Indirect searches look at places in the Universe where dark matter is known to be abundant and seek for possible annihilation or decay signatures. Indirect searches with the Fermi Gamma-ray...
