Скачать или смотреть How to Catch a Dark Matter Clump - Ana Bonaca - 05/12/2025

Where do we think dark matter resides around a galaxy? How can we detect it without seeing it directly? Join us for insights from Dr. Ana Bonaca, a scientist at the Carnegie Observatories and a specialist in dark matter modeling and observation.

Astronomy on Tap is a global phenomenon where professional scientists give informal science talks in local bars with accompanying pub trivia and interactions with the public. The Los Angeles chapter of Astronomy on Tap is very active, with monthly events at the Dog Haus Biergarten in Pasadena. Join us for a future Astronomy on Tap night--free and open to all, no reservations necessary: https://outreach.astro.caltech.edu/aot

Dr. Ana Bonaca is a Staff Scientist at Carnegie Observatories. The central theme of her research program is the Milky Way as a cosmological laboratory, which will be mapped in unprecedented detail over the next decade. She searches for unusual patterns in these new data and interprets them with numerical experimentation to provide physical understanding. Her work aims to place constraints on the nature of dark matter and galaxy formation processes from detailed observations of the Milky Way and the local universe.
