Detection of a dark matter subhalo in the strongly lensed system PJ011646
Aristeidis Amvrosiadis, James W. Nightingale, Qiuhan He +12
We present a strong lensing analysis of the system PJ011646 using high-resolution (0.1 arcsec) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) dust-continuum observations…
Factor Augmented High-Dimensional SGD
Shubo Li, Yuefeng Han, Xiufan Yu
Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is a fundamental optimization algorithm widely used in modern machine learning. In this paper, we propose Factor-Augmented SGD (FSGD), a new optim…
Testing the isothermal Jeans model for self-interacting dark matter halos in the collapse phase
Shubo Li, Moritz S. Fischer, Zixiang Jia +3
We benchmark the semi-analytical isothermal Jeans model against a high-resolution isolated N-body simulation that follows a self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halo into deep core…
An Enhanced Isothermal Jeans Approach to Constraining Dark Matter Self-Interactions from Galactic Kinematics
Zixiang Jia, Fangzhou Jiang, Shubo Li +3
We present an improved semi-analytical model to predict density profiles of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos and apply it to constrain the self-scattering cross section us…
The "Little Dark Dot": Evidence for Self-interacting Dark Matter in the Strong Lens SDSS J0946+1006?
Shubo Li, Ran Li, Kaihao Wang +13
Previous studies, based on precise modeling of a gravitationally lensing image, have identified what may be an extremely compact, dark perturber in the well-known lensing system SD…
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…
