The effects of plasma on the magnification and time delay of strongly lensed fast radio bursts

Xinzhong Er, Shude Mao

The number of identified Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) is increasing rapidly with current and future facilities. Strongly lensed FRBs are expected to be found as well, which can provide…

On the double-plane plasma lensing

Xinzhong Er, Jenny Wagner, Shude Mao

Plasma lensing is the refraction of low-frequency electromagnetic rays due to cold free electrons in the universe. For sources at a cosmological distance, there is observational ev…

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)

Michael E. Levi, Lori E. Allen, Anand Raichoor +42

We present the status of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and its plans and opportunities for the coming decade. DESI construction and its initial five years of oper…

On the Effects of Line-of-Sight Structures on Lensing Flux-ratio Anomalies in a LCDM Universe

D. D. Xu, Shude Mao, Andrew Cooper +4

The flux-ratio anomalies observed in multiply-lensed quasar images are most plausibly explained as the result of perturbing structures superposed on the underlying smooth matter di…

Substructure Lensing: Effects of Galaxies, Globular Clusters & Satellite Streams

D. D. Xu, S. Mao, A. Cooper +4

Lensing flux-ratio anomalies have been frequently observed and taken as evidence for the presence of abundant dark matter substructures in lensing galaxies, as predicted by the col…

Satellites in the field and lens galaxies: SDSS/COSMOS vs. SLACS/CLASS

N. Jackson, S. E. Bryan, S. Mao +1

The incidence of sub-galactic level substructures is an important quantity, as it is a generic prediction of high-resolution Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models which is susceptible to o…
