Probing Dark Matter with LSST

This session is intended to be a discussion of planned (or desired) analyses related to probing the nature of dark matter with LSST. 
The co-conveners of the Dark Energy SC's Dark Matter Working group, Peter Ferguson and Nora Shipp, will organize some short presentations on the current plans of the working group. Other people/groups who plan to conduct related analyses are encouraged to give brief updates (please reach out to Peter/Nora to get on the agenda). This will hopefully lead to a discussion of plans leading up to DP1, and result in more collaborations with people interested in dark matter analyses but not currently participating in the Dark Matter working group within DESC.

Agenda:

  • Intro to DM constraints with Rubin (talk)
  • Roundtable discussion dark matter interests
  • What papers do we want to write with early commissioning data?

Lead or Chair for this Session: 
Peter Ferguson, Nora Shipp (remote)
