CorradoThe European #PulsarTimingArray, a multinational team of #researchers based at different institutes that is using 6 #radiotelescopes across Europe to observe specific #pulsars, recently analyzed the second wave of data they collected.
Their paper, published in #PhysicalReviewLetters, sets more stringent constraints on the presence of #ultralightdarkmatter in the #MilkyWay.

Dark matter, composed of particles that do not reflect, emit or absorb light, is predicted to make up most of the matter in the universe. Its lack of interactions with light, however, prevents its direct detection using conventional experimental methods.
