The BUFFALO Survey : The Subhalo Mass Function for Abell 2744 with Strong+Weak Gravitational Lensing
Nency R. Patel, Mathilde Jauzac, Anna Niemiec +16
We present a combined strong and weak gravitational lensing mass model of the massive merging galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (z = 0.308). The mass reconstruction combines strong-lensing…
Point spread function requirements for dark matter subhalo detection with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Georgios N. Vassilakis, Susan F. Redmond, Jason D. Rhodes +2
Different theories of dark matter predict different populations and morphologies of galactic subhaloes below about . The planned angular resolution and optical stabi…
Resolving 3 Exotic Hyperbolic-Umbilic Lensing Configurations in the "Cosmic Mantis": An Exploration of RXJ0437.1+0043 with JWST
Catherine Cerny, David J. Lagattuta, Keren Sharon +12
We present an updated strong lensing model for the galaxy cluster RXJ0437.1+0043 (z=0.285) using new JWST NIRCam imaging in four pass-bands. The cluster field notably displays at l…
Lensing in the Blue III: Weak Lensing Shape Catalogs of 30 Merging Galaxy Clusters
Sayan Saha, Jacqueline E. McCleary, Spencer W. Everett +38
We present the weak gravitational lensing dataset from the Super-pressure Balloon-Borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT), which imaged 30 galaxy clusters during its 45 night flight in…
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…
Strong LensIng and Cluster Evolution (SLICE) with JWST: Early Results, Lens Models, and High-Redshift Detections
Catherine Cerny, Guillaume Mahler, Keren Sharon +24
We leverage JWST's superb resolution to derive strong lensing mass maps of 14 clusters, spanning a redshift range of and a mass range of $M_{500}\sim2-12 \times…
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…
