ABSTRACT: In this talk, I explore the impact of stellar kinematics on understanding the particle nature of Dark Matter in three separate locations: the solar neighborhood, the Galactic center, and dwarf galaxies. I first discuss the implications of the different stellar components on direct detection experiments. To do so, I show how I can use the velocity distribution of stars … Read More
