Description
One of the most relevant problems in Physics is to identify new particles beyond the Standard Model, which can fit the properties of the cosmological dark matter. Despite decades of searching for candidates, the nature of dark matter remains a mystery even though its role in explaining cosmic structure formation has become progressively more fundamental. Analysing the properties of the galaxy population is arguable among the most promising short-term avenues to look for clues to solve the dark matter enigma. In this talk, I will present a broad overview of the status of the allowed impact of new dark matter physics (i.e., beyond its gravity) in the physics of galaxies.
