The International Conference “Dark Matter and Stars: Multi-Messenger Probes of Dark Matter and Modified Gravity” aims to bring together scientists working across the different research fields of astrophysics, cosmology, and modified gravity. We want to look at the dark matter problem from different perspectives, considering it to be of particle nature, as well as modification of gravity. This meeting is intended to initiate cross-field discussions of dark matter searches, their current status, and future prospects.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
Dark matter in compact stars (neutron stars, white dwarfs, exotic stars)
Multi-messenger and gravitational wave probes of dark matter
Supernovae and dark matter
Exoplanets and brown dwarfs
Models of dark matter
Cosmology
Modified gravity
We seek to encourage dialogue between different research groups to enhance collaboration and help improve our understanding of dark matter. The conference is also planned to introduce the dark matter research field to encourage attendance by young scientists, including Ph.D. students.
The meeting will be held at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
