Observable tests of self-interacting dark matter in galaxy clusters: BCG wobbles in a constant density core

David Harvey, Andrew Robertson, Richard Massey +1

Models of Cold Dark Matter predict that the distribution of dark matter in galaxy clusters should be cuspy, centrally concentrated. Constant density cores would be strong evidence…

Subhalo destruction in the Apostle and Auriga simulations

Jack Richings, Carlos Frenk, Adrian Jenkins +7

N-body simulations make unambiguous predictions for the abundance of substructures within dark matter halos. However, the inclusion of baryons in the simulations changes the pictur…

Observable tests of self-interacting dark matter in galaxy clusters: cosmological simulations with SIDM and baryons

Andrew Robertson, David Harvey, Richard Massey +5

We present BAHAMAS-SIDM, the first large-volume, (400/h Mpc)^3, cosmological simulations including both self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) and baryonic physics. These simulations…

The impact of cored density profiles on the observable quantities of dwarf spheroidal galaxies

David Harvey, Yves Revaz, Andrew Robertson +1

We modify the chemo-dynamical code GEAR to simulate the impact of self-interacting dark matter on the observable quantities of 19 low mass dwarf galaxies with a variety star formin…

Deep and rapid observations of strong-lensing galaxy clusters within the sky localisation of GW170814

G. P. Smith, M. Bianconi, M. Jauzac +7

We present observations of two strong-lensing galaxy clusters located within the per cent credible sky localization maps released following LIGO-Virgo's discovery of the binar…

Strong-lensing of Gravitational Waves by Galaxy Clusters

G. P. Smith, C. P. L. Berry, M. Bianconi +8

Discovery of strongly-lensed gravitational wave (GW) sources will unveil binary compact objects at higher redshifts and lower intrinsic luminosities than is possible without lensin…
