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)"
