Mass models of galaxy clusters from a non-parametric weak-lensing reconstruction

Tobias Mistele, Federico Lelli, Stacy McGaugh +2

We study the CLASH sample of galaxy clusters using a new deprojection method for weak gravitational lensing observations. This method is non-parametric, allowing us to infer mass p…

The empirical laws of galaxy dynamics: from gas kinematics to weak lensing

Federico Lelli, Tobias Mistele, Stacy S. McGaugh +2

Galaxies obey a set of strict dynamical laws, which imply a close coupling between the visible matter (stars and gas) and the observed dynamics (set by dark matter in the standard…

Indefinitely Flat Circular Velocities and the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation from Weak Lensing

Tobias Mistele, Stacy McGaugh, Federico Lelli +2

We use a new deprojection formula to infer the gravitational potential around isolated galaxies from weak gravitational lensing. The results imply circular velocity curves that rem…

Radial acceleration relation of galaxies with joint kinematic and weak-lensing data

Tobias Mistele, Stacy McGaugh, Federico Lelli +2

We combine kinematic and gravitational lensing data to construct the Radial Acceleration Relation (RAR) of galaxies over a large dynamic range. We improve on previous weak-lensing…

Superfluid dark matter in tension with weak gravitational lensing data

Tobias Mistele, Stacy McGaugh, Sabine Hossenfelder

Superfluid dark matter (SFDM) is a model that promises to reproduce the successes of both particle dark matter on cosmological scales and those of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND…

Aether scalar tensor theory confronted with weak lensing data at small accelerations

Tobias Mistele, Stacy McGaugh, Sabine Hossenfelder

The recently proposed aether scalar tensor (AeST) model reproduces both the successes of particle dark matter on cosmological scales and those of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND)…

A novel Cherenkov radiation constraint for hybrid MOND dark matter models

Tobias Mistele

Modified gravity models often contain modes that couple to normal matter and propagate with slightly less than the speed of light. High-energy cosmic rays then lose energy due to C…

Galactic Mass-to-Light Ratios With Superfluid Dark Matter

Tobias Mistele, Stacy McGaugh, Sabine Hossenfelder

We make rotation curve fits to test the superfluid dark matter model. In addition to verifying that the resulting fits match the rotation curve data reasonably well, we aim to eval…

Cherenkov radiation from stars constrains hybrid MOND dark matter models

Tobias Mistele

We propose a new method to constrain alternative models for dark matter with observations. Specifically, we consider hybrid models in which cold dark matter (CDM) phenomena on cosm…

Three problems of superfluid dark matter and their solution

Tobias Mistele

In superfluid dark matter (SFDM), the phonon field plays a double role: It carries the superfluid's energy density and it mediates the MOND-like phonon force. We show that these tw…

The Milky Way's rotation curve with superfluid dark matter

Sabine Hossenfelder, Tobias Mistele

Recent studies have shown that dark matter with a superfluid phase in which phonons mediate a long-distance force gives rise to the phenomenologically well-established regularities…

The role of the chemical potential in coupling superfluid dark matter to baryons

Tobias Mistele

Superfluid dark matter postulates that the centers of galaxies contain superfluid condensates. An important quantity regarding these superfluids is their chemical potential . H…

Strong lensing with superfluid dark matter

Sabine Hossenfelder, Tobias Mistele

In superfluid dark matter the exchange of phonons can create an additional force that has an effect similar to Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). To test whether this hypothesis i…

Predicting Citation Counts with a Neural Network

Tobias Mistele, Tom Price, Sabine Hossenfelder

We here describe and present results of a simple neural network that predicts individual researchers' future citation counts based on a variety of data from the researchers' past.…

The Redshift-Dependence of Radial Acceleration: Modified Gravity versus Particle Dark Matter

Sabine Hossenfelder, Tobias Mistele

Modified Newtonian Dynamics has one free parameter and requires an interpolation function to recover the normal Newtonian limit. We here show that this interpolation function is un…
