Title: Dark Black Holes Abstract: Gravitational wave detections of merging ultracompact objects provide a completely new way to constrain a large class of dark matter models. If the dark matter consists of a rich spectrum of particles, it will generically contain channels for dissipative energy loss that can lead to the formation of compact objects. We have … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Sarah Shandera (Penn State)"

Title: Numerical Relativity and Beyond-GR Theories Abstract: Future gravitational wave observatories will deepen our understanding of gravity in the most extreme environments we have probed so far. Ensuring that our … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Marceline Bonilla (Cal State – Fullerton)"
