Reliable Tests of Faint-end UV Luminosity Functions in Strong Lensing Fields

Jiashuo Zhang

Dark matter comprises ~85% of the entire mass of the Universe, but the fundamental nature of its constituent particles remains elusive. In this thesis, I test for two competitive d…

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…

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…

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…

JWST's PEARLS: Prime Extragalactic Areas for Reionization and Lensing Science: Project Overview and First Results

Rogier A. Windhorst, Seth H. Cohen, Rolf A. Jansen +82

We give an overview and describe the rationale, methods, and first results from NIRCam images of the JWST "Prime Extragalactic Areas for Reionization and Lensing Science" ("PEARLS"…
