DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andrew Miller (ICTP - AP / University Chinese Academ
 y of Sciences)\nDark matter may leave observable signatures in gravitation
 al-wave detectors through a remarkably broad range of physical mechanisms.
  In this talk\, I will discuss recent searches using data from the fourth 
 observing run of the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA detector network. First\, I will
  present a direct search for ultralight dark matter\, in which coherently 
 oscillating scalar\, vector\, and tensor fields can produce characteristic
  signals in gravitational-wave interferometers. I will then discuss search
 es for gravitational waves from inspiraling planetary-mass and asteroid-ma
 ss ultra-compact objects\, which could be primordial black holes. Finally\
 , I will discuss how related continuous-wave searches can probe ultralight
  bosons through gravitational radiation from boson clouds surrounding rota
 ting black holes. Together\, these searches illustrate how gravitational-
 wave detectors can function not only as observatories of conventional astr
 ophysical sources\, but also as sensitive experiments for exploring the na
 ture of dark matter.\n\nhttps://indico.itp.ac.cn/event/417/contributions/2
