Not so dark, not so dense: an alternative explanation for the lensing subhalo in SDSSJ0946+1006
Qiuhan He, Andrew Robertson, James W. Nightingale +12
Previous studies of the strong lens system SDSSJ0946+1006 have reported a dark matter subhalo with an unusually high central density, potentially challenging the standard cold dark…
The "Little Dark Dot": Evidence for Self-interacting Dark Matter in the Strong Lens SDSS J0946+1006?
Shubo Li, Ran Li, Kaihao Wang +13
Previous studies, based on precise modeling of a gravitationally lensing image, have identified what may be an extremely compact, dark perturber in the well-known lensing system SD…
CSST Strong Lensing Preparation: Fast Modeling of Galaxy-Galaxy Strong Lenses in the Big Data Era
Xiaoyue Cao, Ran Li, Nan Li +4
Galaxy-galaxy strong lensing provides a powerful probe of galaxy formation, evolution, and the properties of dark matter and dark energy. However, conventional lens-modeling approa…
CURLING - I. The Influence of Point-like Image Approximation on the Outcomes of Cluster Strong Lens Modeling
Yushan Xie, Huanyuan Shan, Nan Li +11
Cluster-scale strong lensing is a powerful tool for exploring the properties of dark matter and constraining cosmological models. However, due to the complex parameter space, pixel…
