TDCOSMO IV: Hierarchical time-delay cosmography -- joint inference of the Hubble constant and galaxy density profiles

S. Birrer, A. J. Shajib, A. Galan +24

The H0LiCOW collaboration inferred via gravitational lensing time delays a Hubble constant km s, describing deflector mass density pro…

Dissecting the 3D structure of elliptical galaxies with gravitational lensing and stellar kinematics

Matteo Barnabè, Chiara Spiniello, Léon V. E. Koopmans

The combination of strong gravitational lensing and stellar kinematics provides a powerful and robust method to investigate the mass and dynamical structure of early-type galaxies.…

The SWELLS Survey. VI. hierarchical inference of the initial mass functions of bulges and discs

Brendon J. Brewer, Philip J. Marshall, Matthew W. Auger +3

The long-standing assumption that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is universal has recently been challenged by a number of observations. Several studies have shown that a "…

A low-mass cut-off near the hydrogen burning limit for Salpeter-like initial mass functions in early-type galaxies

Matteo Barnabè, Chiara Spiniello, Léon V. E. Koopmans +3

We conduct a detailed investigation of the properties of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in two massive early-type lens galaxies with velocity dispersions of sigma ~245 km/…

The SWELLS survey - V. A Salpeter stellar initial mass function in the bulges of massive spiral galaxies

A. A. Dutton, T. Treu, B. J. Brewer +6

Recent work has suggested that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is not universal, but rather is correlated with galaxy stellar mass, stellar velocity dispersion, or morpholo…

Nomads of the Galaxy

Louis E. Strigari, Matteo Barnabe, Philip J. Marshall +1

We estimate that there may be up to ~10^5 compact objects in the mass range 10^{-8} -10^{-2} solar mass per main sequence star that are unbound to a host star in the Galaxy. We ref…
