Lensed stars in galaxy-galaxy strong lensing -- a JWST prediction for the Cosmic Horseshoe

Sung Kei Li, Luke Weisenbach, Thomas E. Collett +10

We explore for the first time the possibility of detecting lensed star transients in galaxy-galaxy strong lensing systems upon repeated, deep imaging using the {\it James-Webb Spac…

Magnification bias reveals severe contamination in Hubble Frontier Field photo-z catalogs

Jiashuo Zhang, Jeremy Lim, Tom Broadhurst +4

Gravitational lensing by massive galaxy clusters enables faint distant galaxies to be more abundantly detected than in blank fields, thereby allowing one to construct galaxy lumino…

Signatures of Fuzzy Dark Matter Inside Radial Critical Curves

J. M. Palencia, Paloma Morilla, Sung Kei Li +5

We investigate the strong gravitational lensing properties of fuzzy dark matter (FDM) halos, focusing on the magnification properties near radial critical curves (CCs). Using simul…

Transient star B/R ratio and star formation in lensed galaxies

Sung Kei Li, Jose M. Palencia, Jose M. Diego +8

The extreme magnification from galaxy clusters and microlenses therein allows the detection of individual, luminous stars in lensed galaxies as transient events, and hence provides…

Constraining the z 1 Initial Mass Function with {\it HST} and {\it JWST} Lensed Stars in MACS J0416.1-2403

Sung Kei Li, Jose M. Diego, Ashish K. Meena +19

Our understanding of galaxy properties and evolution is contingent on knowing the initial mass function (IMF), and yet to date, the IMF is constrained only to local galaxies. Indiv…

Flashlights: Prospects for constraining the Initial Mass Function around cosmic noon with caustic-crossing events

Ashish Kumar Meena, Sung Kei Li, Adi Zitrin +7

The Flashlights program with the Hubble Space Telescope imaged the six Hubble Frontier Fields galaxy clusters in two epochs and detected twenty transients. These are primarily expe…

Multi-copy Axion Transfer Function and Observational Implications of Effective de Broglie Scales

Jiashuo Zhang, Tom Broadhurst, Jeremy Lim +2

Ultra-light axions are viable fuzzy/wave-like dark matter (DM) candidates generically predicted by the String Axiverse paradigm with multiple particle copies, whereas most of th…
