Astrophysical and cosmological probes of dark matter

Abstract: Dark matter has been introduced to explain substantial mass deficits noted at different astronomical scales, in galaxies, groups of galaxies, clusters, superclusters and even across the full horizon. Dark matter does not interact with baryonic matter except gravitationally, and therefore its effects are sensed only on the largest scales. Although it is still unknown whether dark matter consists of particles or of fields or has some other nature, it has a rich phenomenology. This review summarizes all the astrophysical and cosmological probes that have produced overwhelming evidence for its existence.
