Model independent lensing sub-structure detection with multiply-imaged star clusters constellations
Leo W. H. Fung, Tom Broadhurst, Sung Kei Li +3
A broad class of dark matter (DM) models predicts the existence of sub-structures residing in DM haloes on sub-resolvable angular scales. Techniques to extract such a generic featu…
A smooth filament origin for distant prolate galaxies seen by JWST and HST
Alvaro Pozo, Tom Broadhurst, Razieh Emami +7
The initial gravitational collapse of Dark Matter and gas forms a universal filamentary network where the first galaxies form, with shapes and sizes that depend on the choice of Da…
False Alarm Rate based Statistical Detection Limit for Astronomical Photon Detectors
Albert Wai Kit Lau, Leo W. H. Fung, George F. Smoot
In ultra-fast astronomical observations featuring fast transients on sub-s time scales, the conventional Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) threshold, often fixed at , becomes in…
Diverse dark matter haloes in Two-field Fuzzy Dark Matter
Hoang Nhan Luu, Philip Mocz, Mark Vogelsberger +8
Fuzzy dark matter (FDM) is a compelling candidate for dark matter, offering a natural explanation for the structure of diffuse low-mass haloes. However, the canonical FDM model wit…
