JWST lensed quasar dark matter survey V: Hints of self-interacting dark matter from 29 quadruply imaged quasars
D. Gilman, A. M. Nierenberg, J. Gurian +21
Theories of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) predict the eventual core collapse of dark matter halos, a process that transforms these structures into extremely efficient gravita…

Measurement of the minimum cold dark matter halo mass with strong gravitational lensing
A. M. Nierenberg, D. Gilman, T. Treu +19
We explore the lowest mass limit that can be placed on the halo mass function in CDM using 28 strong gravitational lenses. For this purpose, we study an extreme model in which the…
