Summary

A Dark Matter Workshop was held at the CSIRO Radiophysics Laboratory in Marsfield, Sydney, on 24–25 February 1994. The workshop, sponsored by the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF), was a meeting of dark matter (DM) specialists as well as astronomers interested in the field, and attracted about 80 participants from nine institutions. The program consisted of 22 oral contributions (15–45 minutes), followed by lively discussions, as well as podium discussions at the end of each day. Abstracts of most of the contributions are presented here, arranged by subject groups which range from ‘Gravitational Lensing and DM in Clusters’, ‘DM in Elliptical Galaxies’, ‘The Nature of DM’, and ‘The Shapes of Dark Halos’ to ‘Alternatives to DM’.
