Schedule and Events
Last updated: Tuesday
The goal of this meeting is to bring together international experts who work on probes of dark matter on galactic scales — on dynamical studies (utilizing new simulations as well as new observational data), gravitational lensing, kinematical studies of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group and beyond, and indirect probes of dark matter. A key aspect of this meeting are "Bridge Sessions" that are designed to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration across these fields.
