Observation-driven simulations of strong lensing galaxy clusters

L. Leuzzi, M. Meneghetti, A. Adam +9

Galaxy clusters are the most powerful strong lenses: they greatly magnify the flux of distant and faint sources. Strong lensing also allows for the reconstruction of their mass dis…

Mapping the Information Geometry of an Unresolved Dark Matter Population using a Differentiable Strong Lensing Simulator

Alexandre Adam

Strong gravitational lensing is a unique probe of the matter power spectrum on small scales, where the abundance of dark matter subhalos in galaxies could be used to distinguish th…

The spatially-resolved effect of mergers on the stellar mass assembly of MaNGA galaxies

Eirini Angeloudi, Marc Huertas-Company, Jesús Falcón-Barroso +3

Understanding the origin of stars within a galaxy - whether formed in-situ or accreted from other galaxies (ex-situ) - is key to constraining its evolution. Spatially resolving the…
