Novel astrophysical probes of dark matter

The meeting is dedicated to discussions on novel astrophysical probes of dark matter including both large and small scale structure of the universe. The presentations and discussions will include how to connect models of dark matter to astrophysical observables and how to test them, how to seek for new observational probes, and what current and near-future astrophysical missions such as Gaia and Euclid can reveal about the nature of dark matter.

Confirmed speakers:

Mariangela Lisanti (Princeton, USA) —  Mapping the Milky Way's dark matter halo with Gaia
Felix Kahlhoefer (RWTH Aachen, Germany) — Self-interacting dark matter
Thomas Kitching (UCL, UK) — Making dark matter maps for Euclid
Justin Read (Surrey, UK) — Gravitational probes of dark matter
