Description

I will discuss how the identity of the dark matter is reflected in properties of small galaxies such as the satellites of the Milky Way. I will present a test, base on gravitational lensing, that can unambiguously distinguish between cold dark matter and other possibilities such as sterile neutrino dark matter. This test could, in principle, rule out one or the other.
