Gravitational Wave Constraints on
Dark Compact Objects Workshop
Penn State University
May 16-20, 2022

This workshop, supported through the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the APS via a Convening Award, will accelerate communication between experts on dissipative dark matter models and constraints, compact object formation, and gravitational wave observations. Workshop sessions will consist of a mix of presentations and discussion sessions covering

• Cooling and compact object formation in the standard model and beyond
• Large-scale structure simulations and observations targeting self-interacting and dissipative dark matter
• Particle physics considerations for hidden sector dark matter
• Gravitational wave data opportunities for dark compact objects

Scientific organizers: Sarah Shandera, Donghui Jeong, Chad Hanna
