An ultra-high-resolution map of (dark) matter
Diana Scognamiglio, Gavin Leroy, David Harvey +38
Ordinary matter-including particles such as protons and neutrons-accounts for only about one sixth of all matter in the Universe. The rest is dark matter, which does not emit or ab…
Using Strong Lensing to Detect Subhalos with Steep Inner Density Profiles
Kassidy E. Kollmann, James W. Nightingale, Mariangela Lisanti +2
The inner region of a subhalo's density distribution is particularly sensitive to dark matter microphysics, with alternative dark matter models leading to both cored and steeply-ri…
Impact of line-of-sight structure on weak lensing observables of galaxy clusters
Felix Vecchi, David Harvey, James Nightingale +3
Weak gravitational lensing observations of galaxy clusters are sensitive to all mass along the line-of-sight, introducing systematic and additional statistical uncertainties due to…
Not so dark, not so dense: an alternative explanation for the lensing subhalo in SDSSJ0946+1006
Qiuhan He, Andrew Robertson, James W. Nightingale +12
Previous studies of the strong lens system SDSSJ0946+1006 have reported a dark matter subhalo with an unusually high central density, potentially challenging the standard cold dark…
Probing Dark Matter Substructures with Free-Form Modelling: A Case Study of the `Jackpot' Strong Lens
Xiaoyue Cao, Ran Li, James W. Nightingale +12
Characterising the population and internal structure of sub-galactic halos is critical for constraining the nature of dark matter. These halos can be detected near galaxies that ac…
Galaxy Mass Modelling from Multi-Wavelength JWST Strong Lens Analysis: Dark Matter Substructure, Angular Mass Complexity, or Both?
Samuel C. Lange, Aristeidis Amvrosiadis, James W. Nightingale +8
We analyze two galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses, SPT0418-47 and SPT2147-50, using JWST NIRCam imaging across multiple filters. To account for angular complexity in the lens…
