Cosmic Probes of the Dark Sector

In this talk, I will describe my efforts to understand the nature of the mysterious dark matter. From the optical to the X-ray and gamma-ray universe, astrophysics has a role to play in understanding the details of this major problem in particle physics. I will give some insight into how I am using a range of tools to get at the basic question of “what is the statistical mechanics of dark matter?” I will show that astrophysical phenomenology is dependent on the microphysical details of ultralight axion models, and I will present results from a collaboration that involves current and former Stanford KIPAC affiliates.
