Halometry from Astrometry: New Gravitational Methods to Search for Dark Matter

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings ((ASSSP,volume 56))

Abstract

Time domain astronomy offers the possibilty of news lensing searches. By looking for dramatic proper motions, measureable changes in them, or correlations between them, we can infer or constrain the presence of dark objects in our halo, such as black holes, subhalos, or other exotic objects. We consider new search strategies and the possibilities for current and future experiments.
