A forward-modelling method to infer the dark matter particle mass from strong gravitational lenses

Qiuhan He, Andrew Robertson, James Nightingale +7

A fundamental prediction of the cold dark matter (CDM) model of structure formation is the existence of a vast population of dark matter haloes extending to subsolar masses. By con…

Euclid preparation: X. The Euclid photometric-redshift challenge

Euclid Collaboration, G. Desprez, S. Paltani +170

Forthcoming large photometric surveys for cosmology require precise and accurate photometric redshift (photo-z) measurements for the success of their main science objectives. Howev…

The surprising accuracy of isothermal Jeans modelling of self-interacting dark matter density profiles

Andrew Robertson, Richard Massey, Vincent Eke +2

Recent claims of observational evidence for self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) have relied on a semi-analytic method for predicting the density profiles of galaxies and galaxy clu…

The distribution of dark matter and gas spanning six megaparsecs around the post-merger galaxy cluster MS0451-03

Sut-Ieng Tam, Mathilde Jauzac, Richard Massey +11

Using the largest mosaic of Hubble Space Telescope images around a galaxy cluster, we map the distribution of dark matter throughout a Mpc area centred on the…

Mapping dark matter and finding filaments: calibration of lensing analysis techniques on simulated data

Sut-Ieng Tam, Richard Massey, Mathilde Jauzac +1

We quantify the performance of mass mapping techniques on mock imaging and gravitational lensing data of galaxy clusters. The optimum method depends upon the scientific goal. We as…

Euclid: Forecast constraints on the cosmic distance duality relation with complementary external probes

M. Martinelli, C. J. A. P. Martins, S. Nesseris +82

In metric theories of gravity with photon number conservation, the luminosity and angular diameter distances are related via the Etherington relation, also known as the distance-du…

Atmospheric Erosion by Giant Impacts onto Terrestrial Planets: A Scaling Law for any Speed, Angle, Mass, and Density

Jacob A. Kegerreis, Vincent R. Eke, David C. Catling +3

We present a new scaling law to predict the loss of atmosphere from planetary collisions for any speed, angle, impactor mass, target mass, and body compositions, in the regime of g…

On building a cluster watch-list for identifying strongly lensed supernovae, gravitational waves and kilonovae

Dan Ryczanowski, Graham P. Smith, Matteo Bianconi +3

Motivated by discovering strongly-lensed supernovae, gravitational waves, and kilonovae in the 2020s, we investigate whether to build a watch-list of clusters based on observed clu…
