Our Mission

To bring together researchers in astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics to explore the role of dark matter in stars and other astrophysical objects as powerful laboratories for new physics. From neutron stars and white dwarfs to exoplanets and stellar environments, astrophysical systems offer unique opportunities to probe the nature of dark matter.

By considering both particle dark matter and modifications of gravity, the conference series aims to connect diverse approaches and highlight how electromagnetic and gravitational wave observations can constrain fundamental physics. Recent advances in observations and simulations make this a timely opportunity to bridge traditionally separate communities.

We seek to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue on current challenges, observational signatures, and future prospects, encouraging collaboration and new ideas. The series aims to provide a stimulating platform for advancing our understanding of dark matter through its astrophysical imprints.
