This presentation will overview initiatives created to overcome
inequity in physics. We will discuss grassroots efforts like Black
in Physics, institution-adjacent efforts like Change-Now at
Fermilab, and APS-funded efforts like APS-IDEA, and...
The standard model of cosmology has passed every test over the
last twenty years. Yet it remains unsatisfactory, with 95% of the
universe being dark components, whose nature we did not understand.
Now, there are possible ‘cracks’ in the model, as...
Pulsar halos are extended gamma-ray structures formed by
electrons and positrons that have escaped from the central pulsar
wind nebulae (PWNe), interacting with photons of the interstellar
radiation fields. Pulsar halos serve as unique probes for...
Recent advancements in cosmological observations have provided
an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the distribution of
baryons relative to the underlying matter. In this talk, I will
present pioneering work that uses a photometric survey...
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...
Gravitational lensing, which is the effect of the distortion of
distant galaxy images through the influence of massive matter
densities in the line of sight, holds significant promise in
addressing questions about dark matter and dark energy. It...
