Dark Matter in Extreme Astrophysical Environments.

Extreme astrophysical environments, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, supernovae, and compact merger events, provide dense, energetic environments which have the potential to magnify otherwise unobservable signatures of dark matter and dark sectors. Studies of these environments with gravitational wave instruments and observatories spanning the electromagnetic spectrum already provide leading sensitivity to various dark matter models. In this talk, I will discuss the considerable theoretical progress toward understanding prospects for new physics discovery in these extreme astrophysical environments with current and upcoming probes and their interplay with ongoing efforts in theoretical astrophysics.
