JWST lensed quasar dark matter survey V: Hints of self-interacting dark matter from 29 quadruply imaged quasars

D. Gilman, A. M. Nierenberg, J. Gurian +21

Theories of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) predict the eventual core collapse of dark matter halos, a process that transforms these structures into extremely efficient gravita…

The free-streaming length of dark matter from JWST observations of 28 strong gravitational lenses

D. Gilman, A. M. Nierenberg, T. Treu +24

The formation of gravitationally bound overdensities of dark matter (DM), or \textit{halos}, is a generic prediction of theories with particle DM. We present a measurement of halo…

Measurement of the minimum cold dark matter halo mass with strong gravitational lensing

A. M. Nierenberg, D. Gilman, T. Treu +19

We explore the lowest mass limit that can be placed on the halo mass function in CDM using 28 strong gravitational lenses. For this purpose, we study an extreme model in which the…

JWST Lensed Quasar Dark Matter Survey III: Dark Matter Sensitive Flux Ratios and Warm Dark Matter Constraint from the Full Sample

R. E. Keeley, A. M. Nierenberg, D. Gilman +24

We present the full sample of measurements of the warm dust emission of 31 strongly-lensed, multiply imaged quasars, observed with JWST MIRI multiband imaging, which we use to cons…

JWST lensed quasar dark matter survey IV: Stringent warm dark matter constraints from the joint reconstruction of extended lensed arcs and quasar flux ratios

D. Gilman, A. M. Nierenberg, T. Treu +23

We present a measurement of the free-streaming length of dark matter (DM) and subhalo abundance around 28 quadruple image strong lenses using observations from JWST MIRI presented…

Faster than SAM: An empirical model for the tidal evolution of dark matter substructure around strong gravitational lenses

Xiaolong Du, Daniel Gilman, Tommaso Treu +2

Strong gravitational lenses enable direct inference of halo abundance and internal structure, which in turn enable constraints on the nature of dark matter and the primordial matte…

Dark Matter Substructure: A Lensing Perspective

Charles Gannon, Anna Nierenberg, Andrew Benson +3

The study of dark matter substructure through strong gravitational lensing has shown enormous promise in probing the properties of dark matter on sub-galactic scales. This approach…

JWST Lensed quasar dark matter survey II: Strongest gravitational lensing limit on the dark matter free streaming length to date

Ryan E. Keeley, Anna M. Nierenberg, Daniel Gilman +20

This is the second in a series of papers in which we use JWST MIRI multiband imaging to measure the warm dust emission in a sample of 31 multiply imaged quasars, to be used as a pr…

Tidal evolution of cored and cuspy dark matter halos

Xiaolong Du, Andrew Benson, Zhichao Carton Zeng +9

The internal structure and abundance of dark matter halos and subhalos are powerful probes of the nature of dark matter. In order to compare observations with dark matter models, a…
