"Uncovering Dark Matter Properties with Astrophysics" (host: Jogee)
The as-yet undiscovered dark matter particle(s)/field(s) has
come to dominate our matter paradigm. Some of the earliest
hints of dark matter were seen in the dynamics of galaxies
and confirmed at the largest scales measurable, yet the
foremost challenge to the favored cold dark matter model
arises in the smallest scales of galaxy dynamics. While
whole disciplines beyond astrophysics are now devoted
to the search for candidates of this "Missing Matter", I will
highlight unique opportunities in astrophysics. Galaxy
studies and various astrophysical probes can uncover
basic dark matter properties using a wide variety of existing
and future observational facilities, including instruments
which could be supported by new and enticing high-altitude
airship and aerostat platforms that are in development.
