Understanding the nature of dark matter is one of the major
goals of modern physics. The abundance and density profiles
of dark matter halos depend directly on dark matter particle
physics. Strong gravitational lensing enables a direct
measurement...
Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous in space and astrophysical
plasmas, where they often mediate conversion of flow energy into
particle acceleration and heating. In hot and rarified (weakly
collisional) plasmas, the energy dissipation must be...
Large-scale structure (LSS) surveys are a powerful probe of
primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) and, by extension, inflation.
However, extracting PNG from small-scale LSS data is challenging
due to the significant non-Gaussianities generated by non...
Gas-rich environments are ubiquitous in various scales, from
protoplanetary disks to star clusters and galaxies. Dynamics in
gas-rich environments are substantially different and give rise to
unique astrophysical phenomena, along with enhancing the...
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a recently discovered, poorly
understood class of transient event, and understanding their origin
has become a central problem in astrophysics. I will present FRB
science results from CHIME, a new interferometric...
