Ecole Internationale d'Astrophysique Daniel Chalonge
CIAS Meudon Workshop 2010 "Dark Matter in the Universe and Universal
Properties of Galaxies: Theory and Observations"
at the Meudon campus of Observatoire de Paris, CIAS, in the historic
Château building, 8-11 June 2010
The Workshop addresses the problem of Dark Matter in the Universe and the
Universal properties of Galaxies, with an effort of clarification and
synthesis by combining in a conceptual framework, theory, analytical,
observational and numerical simulation results. The subject will be
approached in a threefold way:
(I) Conceptual context: Dark Matter in cosmology and astrophysics: current
status, perspective and prospective of the research in the
subject: theory and observations
(II) Astronomical observations linked to the galaxy structural properties
and especially to the universal properties of galaxies: high quality
rotation curves, kinematics, density profiles, gravitational lensing, small
and large structures.
(III) Numerical simulations, large structures, structures and substructures.
Topics: Kinetic theory and the recent progress in solving the
Boltzmann-Vlasov equation to obtain the observed universal properties
of galaxies. N-body numerical simulations. The dark matter surface density
in galaxies. The phase-space density of dark matter.
Particle model independent analysis of astrophysical dark matter. The mass
of the dark matter particle at the keV scale as determined
from theory combined to observations and numerical simulations. The impact
of the mass of the dark matter particle on the small scale
structure formation and the choice of the initial conditions. The radial
profiles and the Dark Matter distribution. Cores vs. Cusps.
The recently highlighted keV scale Dark Matter.
Sessions last for four full days in the beautiful Meudon campus of
Observatoire de Paris, where CIAS "Centre International d´Ateliers
Scientifiques"
is located. All sessions take place in the historic Château building,
(built in 1706 by great architect Jules-Hardouin Mansart in orders by King
Louis
XIV for his son the Grand Dauphin).
The Meeting is open to all scientists interested in the subject. The format
of the Meeting is intended to allow easy and fruitful mutual contact and
communication. All Informations about the meeting and registration to it
are displayed at :

Early Registration is strongly encouraged
