The Sensitivity of Substructure Lensing to SIDM Core-collapse Model Variation
Charlie Mace, Birendra Dhanasingham, Zhichao Carton Zeng +4
Strong gravitational lensing has emerged as a powerful probe of dark matter substructure, and shows particularly strong promise as a test of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM). Th…
SN 2022riv in RX J2129: Discovery, Spectroscopic Classification, and Microlensing of a Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernova from JWST and HST Observations
Birendra Dhanasingham, Patrick L. Kelly, Wenlei Chen +27
The multiply imaged SN 2022riv was discovered through a search of galaxy cluster fields as part of a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) SNAP program to find highly magnified stars. The s…
Neural posterior estimation of the line-of-sight and subhalo populations in galaxy-scale strong lensing systems
Birendra Dhanasingham, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Daniel Gilman
Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful probe for studying the fundamental properties of dark matter on sub-galactic scales. Detailed analyses of galaxy-scale lenses have reveal…
JWST's PEARLS: A Candidate Massive Binary Star System in a Lensed Galaxy at Redshift 0.94
Hayley Williams, Patrick L. Kelly, Emmanouil Zapartas +18
Massive stars at cosmological distances can be individually detected during transient microlensing events, when gravitational lensing magnifications may exceed ~1000. Nine such sou…
