The Impact of Orbital Anisotropy Assumptions in Lensing-Dynamics Modeling
Yan Liang, Dandan Xu, Anowar J. Shajib +2
We investigate potential systematic biases introduced by assumptions regarding stellar orbital anisotropy in joint lensing-dynamics modeling. Our study employs the massive early-ty…

Modeling biases from constant stellar mass-to-light ratio assumption in galaxy dynamics and strong lensing
Yan Liang, Dandan Xu, Dominique Sluse +2
A constant stellar mass-to-light ratio has been widely-used in studies of galaxy dynamics and strong lensing, which aim at disentangling the mass distributions of dark…
