A Consistent Implementation of Cluster Strong Lensing in Cosmological Simulation Light Cones
Cian Roche, Mark Vogelsberger, Michael McDonald +9
Galaxy cluster strong gravitational lensing plays a central role in precision cosmology, yet robust theoretical predictions have lagged behind an abundance of high-quality strong l…
The Escape Velocity Profile of the Milky Way from Gaia DR3
Cian Roche, Lina Necib, Tongyan Lin +2
The escape velocity profile of the Milky Way offers a crucial and independent measurement of its underlying mass distribution and dark matter properties. Using a sample of stars fr…
Novel density profile for isothermal cores of dark matter halos
Vinh Tran, Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger +5
We present a novel analytic density profile for halos in self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models, which accurately captures the isothermal-core configuration, i.e. where both th…
The DREAMS Project: A New Suite of 1,024 Simulations to Contextualize the Milky Way and Assess Physics Uncertainties
Jonah C. Rose, Mariangela Lisanti, Paul Torrey +17
We introduce a new suite of 1,024 cosmological and hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations of Milky Way-mass halos, run with Cold Dark Matter, as part of the DREAMS Project. Each simula…
