24. Dark and shiny dresses around astrophysical and primordial black holes

Daniele Gaggero (IFT UAM-CSIC)

The birth of gravitational wave astronomy has been a major recent breakthrough in physics. The recent discovery of gravitational wave signals from merger events of massive binary-black-hole (BBH) systems have prompted a renewed debate in the scientific community about the existence of primordial black holes (PBHs) of O(1-100) solar masses. These objects may have formed in the early Universe...

5. Hunting small dark matter halos in strongly lensed images with backpropagation

Christoph Weniger (University of Amsterdam)

The analysis of strongly gravitationally lensed radio and optical images has the potential to probe dark matter (sub-)halos with masses several orders of magnitude below the mass of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. However, correctly analyzing these images is a rather complex task, since it requires a careful stochastic modeling of the source, the lense, and the instrumental characteristics. ...
