Searching for signatures of self-interacting dark matter in halos from full-physics simulations: From 3D structure to projected observables

Giovanni Y. Ferron, Antonio Ragagnin, Lorenzo Pizzuti +1

In this work we explore the imprints of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) on the structure of simulated galaxy groups and clusters in view of future optical surveys. We find that…

-balls, neural networks and galaxy rotation curves

Alexandre M. Pombo, Lorenzo Pizzuti, Alessandra di Giacomo

Can a dynamically robust (\textit{aka} stable) -ball reproduce the rotation curve of a disk galaxy? In an astrophysical environment, -balls are non-topological solitons that…

Teukolsky by Design: A Hybrid Spectral-PINN solver for Kerr Quasinormal Modes

Alexandre M. Pombo, Lorenzo Pizzuti

We introduce SpectralPINN, a hybrid pseudo-spectral/physics-informed neural network (PINN) solver for Kerr quasinormal modes that targets the Teukolsky equation in both the separat…

Modified gravity in galaxy clusters: Joint analysis of Hydrostatics and Caustics

Minahil Adil Butt, Sandeep Haridasu, Yacer Boumechta +4

We present a comprehensive joint analysis of two distinct methodologies for measuring the mass of galaxy clusters: hydrostatic measurements and caustic techniques. We show that by…

Mass Modeling and Kinematics of Galaxy Clusters in Modified Gravity

Lorenzo Pizzuti, Yacer Boumechta, Sandeep Haridasu +6

The chameleon screening mechanism has been constrained many a time using dynamic and kinematic galaxy cluster observables. Current constraints are, however, insensitive to differen…

The shape of the Chameleon fifth-force on the mass components of galaxy clusters

Lorenzo Pizzuti, Valentina Amatori, Alexandre M. Pombo +1

In the context of Chameleon gravity, we present a semi-analytical solution of the chameleon field profile in accurately modelled galaxy cluster's mass components, namely: the stell…
