Talk SESSION 5: Astrophysics and Cosmology-1 (CHAIR: Graciela Gelmini- UCLA)

Speaker

Hai-Bo Yu (University of California Riverside)

Description

I will discuss recent work on self-interacting dark matter in light of the latest observations and numerical simulations. In particular, I will highlight novel signatures of gravothermal collapse of dark matter halos, a unique prediction if dark matter has strong self-interactions.
