Abstract
Astrophysical observations currently provide the only robust, empiricalmeasurements of dark matter. In the coming decade, astrophysical observationswill guide other experimental efforts, while simultaneously probing uniqueregions of dark matter parameter space. This white paper summarizesastrophysical observations that can constrain the fundamental physics of darkmatter in the era of LSST. We describe how astrophysical observations willinform our understanding of the fundamental properties of dark matter, such asparticle mass, self-interaction strength, non-gravitational interactions withthe Standard Model, and compact object abundances. Additionally, we highlighttheoretical work and experimental/observational facilities that will complementLSST to strengthen our understanding of the fundamental characteristics of darkmatter.
