title = "The bullet cluster 130657-56: Implications for dark matter and galaxy evolution",
abstract = "We present an overview of work on the merging cluster system 130657-56, commonly known as the {"}bullet{"} cluster. This system is one of only two known supersonic cluster mergers, and its unique properties enable fundamental constraints on the nature of dark matter. In a series of papers our group has used this system to demonstrate the existence of dark matter and place upper limits on the dark matter self-interaction cross section. In this proceedings we summarize these findings and discuss ongoing work to improve these constraints and quantify the impact of a supersonic merger on cluster galaxy evolution.",
