Baryonic mass budgets in the central regions of the Bullet Cluster and their consistency with strong lensing in MOND
Dong Zhang, Hosein Haghi, Elena Asencio +8
Strong lensing observations of the Bullet Cluster have traditionally been regarded as strong evidence for dark matter and a major challenge to Milgromian dynamics (MOND). The offse…
A new measurement with SNe Requiem and Encore using
L. Bazzanini, G. Di Rosa, A. Acebron +24
We present a strong-lensing (SL) analysis of the galaxy cluster MACS J0138.0-2155 (z=0.336), the first known lens cluster discovered to host two distinct multiply imaged Type Ia su…
Dark and Luminous Matter in the Coma Cluster: Probing Galaxy Cluster Assembly Through Filaments with Weak Lensing and Multiwavelength Observations
K. HyeongHan, K. Finner, M. James Jee +11
The Coma cluster (Abell 1656; ) is a nearby rich galaxy cluster and a key laboratory for studying cluster assembly in the Cosmic Web. We characterize its projected dark ma…
A stellar dynamical mass measurement of an inactive black hole at redshift 2
Andrew B. Newman, Meng Gu, Sirio Belli +34
Supermassive black holes and their host galaxies grow together over time, producing correlations between the black hole mass and various galaxy properties. Determining the evolutio…
Candidate Microlensing Brown Dwarfs in Binary Lens Systems from the 2023--2025 Observing Seasons
Cheongho Han, Andrzej Udalski, Ian A. Bond +62
We present detailed light-curve analyses of ten binary-lens microlensing events observed during the 2023--2025 seasons and selected as candidates for hosting brown-dwarf companions…
Weak-lensing Analysis of Intracluster Filaments in Abell 2744: Matched-filter Scans and Stepwise 2D Tracing
Sangjun Cha, Kyle Finner, M. James Jee +1
We present a weak-lensing (WL) analysis of filamentary structures in the merging galaxy cluster Abell 2744 using wide-field Magellan/MegaCam imaging data. We employ two complementa…
