Low-Energy Astrophysics: Stimulating the Reduction of Energy Consumption in the Next Decade
P. J. Marshall, N. Bennert, E. S. Rykoff +27
In this paper we address the consumption of energy by astronomers while performing their professional duties. Although we find that astronomy uses a negligible fraction of the US e…
Strong gravitational lensing probes of the particle nature of dark matter
Leonidas A. Moustakas, Kevork Abazajian, Andrew Benson +44
There is a vast menagerie of plausible candidates for the constituents of dark matter, both within and beyond extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Each of these ca…
Dark Matter and Baryons in the Most X-ray Luminous and Merging Galaxy Cluster RX J1347.5-1145
Maruša Bradač, Tim Schrabback, Thomas Erben +12
The galaxy cluster RX J1347-1145 is one of the most X-ray luminous and most massive clusters known. Its extreme mass makes it a prime target for studying issues addressing cluster…
Direct Observation of Cosmic Strings via their Strong Gravitational Lensing Effect: I. Predictions for High Resolution Imaging Surveys
Maria Alice Gasparini, Phil Marshall, Tommaso Treu +2
We use current theoretical estimates for the density of long cosmic strings to predict the number of strong gravitational lensing events in astronomical imaging surveys as a functi…
Analytic models of plausible gravitational lens potentials
Edward A. Baltz, Phil Marshall, Masamune Oguri
Gravitational lenses on galaxy scales are plausibly modelled as having ellipsoidal symmetry and a universal dark matter density profile, with a Sersic profile to describe the distr…
Strong and weak lensing united III: Measuring the mass distribution of the merging galaxy cluster 1E0657-56
Marusa Bradac, Douglas Clowe, Anthony H. Gonzalez +7
The galaxy cluster 1E0657-56 (z = 0.296) is remarkably well-suited for addressing outstanding issues in both galaxy evolution and fundamental physics. We present a reconstruction o…
