SHARP -- IX. The dense, low-mass perturbers in B1938+666 and J0946+1006: implications for cold and self-interacting dark matter

Maryam Tajalli, Simona Vegetti, Conor M. O'Riordan +5

We present an extended analysis of the gravitational lens systems SDSS J0946+1006 and JVAS B1938+666. We focus on the properties of two low-mass dark matter haloes previously detec…

Detecting low-mass haloes with strong gravitational lensing II: constraints on the density profiles of two detected subhaloes

Giulia Despali, Felix M. Heinze, Christopher D. Fassnacht +3

Strong gravitational lensing can detect the presence of low-mass haloes and subhaloes through their effect on the surface brightness of lensed arcs. We carry out an extended analys…

Gravitational lenses in hydrodynamical simulations

Giulia Despali, Felix M. Heinze, Claudio Mastromarino

The gravitational lensing signal produced by a galaxy or a galaxy cluster is determined by its total matter distribution, providing us with a way to directly constrain their dark m…

Strong gravitational lensing as a probe of dark matter

S. Vegetti, S. Birrer, G. Despali +8

Dark matter structures within strong gravitational lens galaxies and along their line of sight leave a gravitational imprint on the multiple images of lensed sources. Strong gravit…

Properties and observables of massive galaxies in self-interacting dark matter cosmologies

Claudio Mastromarino, Giulia Despali, Lauro Moscardini +3

We use hydrodynamical cosmological simulations to test the differences between cold and self-interacting dark matter models (CDM and SIDM) in the mass range of massive galaxies ($1…

Sensitivity of strong lensing observations to dark matter substructure: a case study with Euclid

Conor M. O'Riordan, Giulia Despali, Simona Vegetti +2

We introduce a machine learning method for estimating the sensitivity of strong lens observations to dark matter subhaloes in the lens. Our training data include elliptical power-l…
