M02.00001: Snowmass, P5 and Astrophysics Invited Speaker: Glennys R Farrar How can the community of physicists whose research involves fundamental physics, gravity, astrophysics and cosmology best organize ourselves to develop and articulate the best plan for the future of our fields? After a quick run-down of the Snowmass and P5 processes, and sharing some thoughts about the need for better synergies between DAP, DGRAV and AAS, I plan to share the mic for audience ideas. |

M02.00002: Dark Matter in Extreme Astrophysical Environments. Invited Speaker: Joshua W Foster Extreme astrophysical environments, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, supernovae, and compact merger events, provide dense, energetic environments which have the potential to magnify otherwise unobservable signatures of dark matter and dark sectors. Studies of these environments with gravitational wave instruments and observatories spanning the electromagnetic spectrum already provide leading sensitivity to various dark matter models. In this talk, I will discuss the considerable theoretical progress toward understanding prospects for new physics discovery in these extreme astrophysical environments with current and upcoming probes and their interplay with ongoing efforts in theoretical astrophysics. |

M02.00003: Dark matter physics with the Rubin Observatory and other astronomical surveys Invited Speaker: Annika Peter Although dark matter plays a lead role in driving the expansion of the universe and the growth of structure, its fundamental nature remains a mystery to humans. In the absence of a definitive detection of it in a laboratory setting, the theoretical landscape of plausible particle dark matter candidates has grown broader and more diverse in the past decade. Even as the laboratory searches to discover these candidates also diversify, the study of the fundamental particle properties of dark matter in its native context, the cosmos, is becoming a precision science. In this talk, I will outline how dark matter astrophysics has become a precision science, and advocate for the idea that we should be thinking of telescopes as dark matter experiments. While I will focus on the Rubin Observatory and some of the exciting discoveries that may lay in our future, I will emphasize that this framing and approach suits a broad range of future projects. |
