Lensing in the Blue IV: The First Weak Gravitational Lensing Maps from the Stratosphere

Sayan Saha, Maya Amit, Jacqueline E. McCleary +42

The Super-Pressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) completed its science flight in April 2023, obtaining imaging data for 30 galaxy clusters. In this work, we present th…

The Kaleidoscope Survey: Strong Gravitational Lensing in Galaxy Clusters with Radial Arcs

Catherine Cerny, Mathilde Jauzac, David Lagattuta +5

We measure the dark matter density profiles of six galaxy clusters: A383, MS 2137-23, MACS J0326.8-0043, MACS J1427.6-2521, MACS J0417.5-1154, and MACS J0949.8+1708. Each cluster c…

Hydrodynamical simulations of merging galaxy clusters: giant dark matter particle colliders, powered by gravity

Ellen L. Sirks, David Harvey, Richard Massey +7

Terrestrial particle accelerators collide charged particles, then watch the trajectory of outgoing debris - but they cannot manipulate dark matter. Fortunately, dark matter is the…

Weak gravitational lensing measurements of Abell 2744 using JWST and shear measurement algorithm pyRRG-JWST

David R. Harvey, Richard Massey

We update the publicly available weak lensing shear measurement algorithm pyRRG for the James Webb Space Telescope, and apply it to UNCOVER DR1 imaging of galaxy cluster Abell 2744…

Growing a `Cosmic Beast': Observations and Simulations of MACS J0717.5+3745

M. Jauzac, D. Eckert, M. Schaller +18

We present a gravitational lensing and X-ray analysis of a massive galaxy cluster and its surroundings. The core of MACS\,J0717.5+3745 (\,$10^{15}…
