TDCOSMO 2026: new insights on the Hubble tension from strong lensing time delays

TDCOSMO Collaboration, Simon Birrer, Michele Cappellari +26

We discuss the measurement of the Hubble constant () in flat cold dark matter cosmology based on the blind hierarchical analysis of 11 multiply-imaged quasars (hereafter t…

TDCOSMO 2026: A 3% measurement of the Hubble constant from strong lensing and stellar kinematics

TDCOSMO Collaboration, Simon Birrer, Michele Cappellari +26

We present cosmological constraints from 11 strongly lensed quasars with measured time delays (hereafter, the TDCOSMO-2026 sample). In addition to expanding the sample, we improve…

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…

First measurement of narrow-line flux ratios for a lensed quasar with JWST/NIRSpec IFS

Hadrien Paugnat, Tommaso Treu, Anna M. Nierenberg +3

Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful probe of dark matter (DM) structure on subgalactic scales: in particular, statistics of flux-ratio anomalies (discrepancies between mass…

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…

Probabilistic Interpolation of Sagittarius A*'s Multi-Wavelength Light Curves Using Diffusion Models

Gabriel Sasseville, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Daryl Haggard +3

Understanding the variability of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) requires coordinated, multi-wavelength observations that span the electromagnetic spectrum. In this work, we focus on data…

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…

Macromodel-free flux-ratio prediction in quadruply imaged quasars with local constraints from lensed arcs

Hadrien Paugnat, Tommaso Treu, Daniel Gilman

Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful cosmological probe, providing a direct tool to unveil the properties of dark matter (DM) on sub-galactic scales. In particular, flux-rati…

FRB 20250316A: A Brilliant and Nearby One-Off Fast Radio Burst Localized to 13 parsec Precision

FRB Collaboration, Thomas C. Abbott, Daniel Amouyal +83

Precise localizations of a small number of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) using very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) have enabled multiwavelength follow-up observations rev…

Elliptical multipoles for gravitational lenses

Hadrien Paugnat, Daniel Gilman

Gravitational lensing galaxies are commonly modeled with elliptical density profiles, to which angular complexity is sometimes added through a multipole expansion - encoding deform…

New Evidence for a Flux-independent Spectral Index of Sgr A* in the Near-infrared

Hadrien Paugnat, Tuan Do, Abhimat K. Gautam +11

In this work, we measure the spectral index of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) between the (1.6 m) and (2.2 m) broadband filters in the near-infrared (NIR), sampling o…

Photon ring test of the Kerr hypothesis: Variation in the ring shape

Hadrien Paugnat, Alexandru Lupsasca, Frédéric Vincent +1

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration recently released horizon-scale images of the supermassive black hole M87*. These images are consistently described by an optically…
