LSST Strong Lensing Systems Dark Matter Sensitivity Analysis with Neural Ratio Estimators
Andreas Filipp, Yashar Hezaveh, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur +2
Strong gravitational lensing offers a unique probe of dark matter (DM) on sub-galactic scales, where the abundance and distribution of low-mass halos are highly sensitive to the un…
Predicting the Subhalo Mass Functions in Simulations from Galaxy Images
Andreas Filipp, Tri Nguyen, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur +5
Strong gravitational lensing provides a powerful tool to directly infer the dark matter (DM) subhalo mass function (SHMF) in lens galaxies. However, comparing observationally infer…
Robustness of Neural Ratio and Posterior Estimators to Distributional Shifts for Population-Level Dark Matter Analysis in Strong Gravitational Lensing
Andreas Filipp, Yashar Hezaveh, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur
We investigate the robustness of Neural Ratio Estimators (NREs) and Neural Posterior Estimators (NPEs) to distributional shifts in the context of measuring the abundance of dark ma…
Caustics: A Python Package for Accelerated Strong Gravitational Lensing Simulations
Connor Stone, Alexandre Adam, Adam Coogan +9
Gravitational lensing is the deflection of light rays due to the gravity of intervening masses. This phenomenon is observed in a variety of scales and configurations, involving any…
