TNGC-SIDM I: Evolution of massive cluster mergers under the self-interacting dark matter paradigm

Wonki Lee, Dylan Nelson, Myungkook J. Jee +8

Merging galaxy clusters provide an ideal laboratory for testing the self-interacting nature of dark matter. In this paper, we present a pilot study of magnetohydrodynamical cosmolo…

Where Cluster Galaxies Reside and How Strongly They Lens

Isaque Dutra, Priyamvada Natarajan, Cian Roche

The efficiency of galaxy-galaxy strong lensing (GGSL) in clusters depends jointly on the inner mass distributions of member galaxies and their locations within the cluster potentia…

Host Dependence and Line-of-Sight Effects on Galaxy-Galaxy Strong Lensing in Clusters

Cian Roche, Michael McDonald, Priyamvada Natarajan +4

The cross section for galaxy-galaxy strong lensing (GGSL) events in galaxy clusters has repeatedly been found to be higher in observations than in cosmological simulations. We revi…

A Consistent Implementation of Cluster Strong Lensing in Cosmological Simulation Light Cones

Cian Roche, Mark Vogelsberger, Michael McDonald +9

Galaxy cluster strong gravitational lensing plays a central role in precision cosmology, yet robust theoretical predictions have lagged behind an abundance of high-quality strong l…

The DREAMS Project: A New Suite of 1,024 Simulations to Contextualize the Milky Way and Assess Physics Uncertainties

Jonah C. Rose, Mariangela Lisanti, Paul Torrey +17

We introduce a new suite of 1,024 cosmological and hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations of Milky Way-mass halos, run with Cold Dark Matter, as part of the DREAMS Project. Each simula…

Novel density profile for isothermal cores of dark matter halos

Vinh Tran, Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger +5

We present a novel analytic density profile for halos in self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models, which accurately captures the isothermal-core configuration, i.e. where both th…

How DREAMS are made: Emulating Satellite Galaxy and Subhalo Populations with Diffusion Models and Point Clouds

Tri Nguyen, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Siddharth Mishra-Sharma +16

The connection between galaxies and their host dark matter (DM) halos is critical to our understanding of cosmology, galaxy formation, and DM physics. To maximize the return of upc…

Brightest Cluster Galaxy Offsets in Cold Dark Matter

Cian Roche, Michael McDonald, Josh Borrow +7

The distribution of offsets between the brightest cluster galaxies of galaxy clusters and the centroid of their dark matter distributions is a promising probe of the underlying dar…

The Escape Velocity Profile of the Milky Way from Gaia DR3

Cian Roche, Lina Necib, Tongyan Lin +2

The escape velocity profile of the Milky Way offers a crucial and independent measurement of its underlying mass distribution and dark matter properties. Using a sample of stars fr…
