Description

The Gaia satellite is transforming our understanding of the distribution of dark matter in the Milky Way. I’ll discuss two structures that have recently been detected in the Milky Way, the S1 stellar stream and the Gaia Sausage, and their impact on experiments searching for the direct detection of dark matter.
