Set in Valencia’s historic center, this workshop will address the outstanding challenges in small-scale structure formation of the Universe, encompassing numerical simulations, semi-analytical modeling, and particle-physics models of dark matter. By leveraging data from current and upcoming observational facilities such as Gaia, JWST, Euclid, Rubin, and Roman, we will explore novel probes of their astrophysical signatures, including but not limited to, strong gravitational lensing, stellar streams, and both field and satellite galaxies.
This workshop will be hosted by IFIC, a joint center of the University of Valencia and CSIC. Following the success of the 2023 SIDM workshop held in Pollica, this event aims to foster ample discussions, encourage new collaborations, and identify promising directions for future research. Valencia is a vibrant Mediterranean city, known for its rich history, cultural heritage, and modern innovation. Valencia is also an ideal location for families, with beautiful beaches and renowned cuisine.
