Planetary and exoplanetary Astronomy Lunch Seminar (PALS) for 2021-11-08

Series: Planetary and exoplanetary Astronomy Lunch Seminar (PALS)
Date: Monday 08-Nov-2021
Time: 11:15-12:15
Location: Online via Zoom (link sent out to the PALS distribution list prior to the talk)
Speaker: Yu-Dai Tsai (Fermilab/U Chicago)
Title: Exploring Fifth Forces and Ultralight Dark Matter with Planetary/Asteroidal Dynamics and Space Quantum Technology

We use planetary astrometric data and space Quantum technology to study ultralight dark matter. Using the orbital data collected for asteroids and other minor planets, one can set leading bounds for ultralight dark matter, which mediate long-range forces and induce precessions of the celestial objects. One can also extend this method to study modified gravity theories. With NASA's new Deep Space Atomic Clocks, one can study the ultralight dark matter in unexplored parameter space. I am looking to provide new connections between astrophysics, planetary observations, quantum technology, and fundamental physics.
