Self-Interacting Dark Matter, Core Collapse and the Galaxy-Galaxy Strong Lensing Discrepancy

Isaque Dutra, Priyamvada Natarajan, Daniel Gilman

Gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters has emerged as a powerful tool to probe the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm of structure formation in the Universe. Despite the re…

The galaxy-galaxy strong lensing cross section and the internal distribution of matter in ΛCDM substructure

Yarone M. Tokayer, Isaque Dutra, Priyamvada Natarajan +3

Strong gravitational lensing offers a powerful probe of the detailed distribution of matter in lenses, while magnifying and bringing faint background sources into view. Observed st…

Evidence for evolving Dark Energy from a new cosmic probe

Isaque Dutra, Colin J. Burke, Priyamvada Natarajan +1

The CDM concordance cosmological model provides a remarkably successful description of the formation and evolution of structure in the Universe. However, a growing discrepancy…

Constraining the Nature of Dark Matter from Tidal Radii of Cluster Galaxy Subhalos

Barry T. Chiang, Isaque Dutra, Priyamvada Natarajan

Gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters provides a powerful probe of the spatial distribution of dark matter and its microphysical properties. Strong and weak lensing constraints…

A Consistent Implementation of Cluster Strong Lensing in Cosmological Simulation Light Cones

Cian Roche, Mark Vogelsberger, Michael McDonald +9

Galaxy cluster strong gravitational lensing plays a central role in precision cosmology, yet robust theoretical predictions have lagged behind an abundance of high-quality strong l…

New Cold Dark Matter Crisis Revealed by Multiscale Cluster Lensing

Priyamvada Natarajan, Barry T. Chiang, Isaque Dutra

The properties of substructure in galaxy clusters, exquisitely probed by gravitational lensing, offer a stringent test of dark matter (DM) models. Combining strong- and weak-lensin…
