JAXtronomy: A JAX port of lenstronomy
Alan Huang, Simon Birrer, Daniel Gilman +4
Gravitational lensing is a phenomenon where light bends around massive objects, resulting in distorted images seen by an observer. Studying gravitationally lensed systems provides…
Cosmology with the line-of-sight shear of strong gravitational lenses
Pierre Fleury, Daniel Johnson, Théo Duboscq +2
Stage-IV photometric galaxy surveys are designed to measure the position and shapes of billions of galaxies. Their aim is to characterise the large-scale distribution of matter in…
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…
Transformational astrophysics and exoplanet science with Habitable Worlds Observatory's High Resolution Imager
Vincent Van Eylen, Richard Massey, Saeeda Awan +167
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will be NASA's flagship space telescope of the 2040s, designed to search for life on other planets and to transform broad areas of astrophysics.…
The COSMOS-Web Lens Survey (COWLS) III: forecasts versus data
Natalie B. Hogg, James W. Nightingale, Quihan He +25
We compare forecasts for the abundance and properties of strong gravitational lenses in the COSMOS-Web survey, a deg survey of the COSMOS field using the NIRCam and MIRI…
On Soft Clustering For Correlation Estimators
Edward Berman, Sneh Pandya, Jacqueline McCleary +14
Properly estimating correlations between objects at different spatial scales necessitates distance calculations. For this reason, most widely adopted packages fo…
