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…

Probing Dark Matter Substructures with Free-Form Modelling: A Case Study of the `Jackpot' Strong Lens

Xiaoyue Cao, Ran Li, James W. Nightingale +12

Characterising the population and internal structure of sub-galactic halos is critical for constraining the nature of dark matter. These halos can be detected near galaxies that ac…

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…

Measuring the Stellar-to-Halo Mass Relation at Solar masses, using forthcoming space-based imaging of galaxy-galaxy strong lenses

Kaihao Wang, Xiaoyue Cao, Ran Li +11

The stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR) is central to understanding the co-evolution of galaxies and their host dark matter haloes, yet it remains weakly constrained for dwarf gal…
