Abstract: The formation and evolution of
structures in the Universe is expected to be affected by the nature
and properties of dark matter. For this reason, we can made use of
cosmological and astrophysical observations to learn about dark

Abstract: The growing catalog of
gravitational-wave signals from compact object mergers has allowed
us to study the properties of black holes and neutron stars more
precisely than ever before and has opened a new window through
which to probe the...
All in-person attendees must be fully vaccinated,
including a booster dose. Individuals must be
prepared to present proof of vaccination and booster if asked but
will not be required to submit proof. Masks are
