Mapping dark matter on the largest and smallest scales
Gil Holder
McGill University
I will talk about the two ends of the scale: gravitational lensing of the
cosmic microwave background providing maps on Gpc scales, approaching the
scale of the cosmological horizon, and strong lensing of dusty star-forming
galaxies providing maps of dark matter substructure on scales of 100 pc
or less. In addition to providing new insights into the relation between
dark matter and luminous matter, the small-scale maps can be used to test
the nature of dark matter itself while the large-scale maps can be used
to give new perspectives on neutrino masses.
