Pushing the Limits of Detectability: Mixed Dark Matter from Strong Gravitational Lenses [PDF]
One of the frontiers for advancing what is known about dark matter lies in using strong gravitational lenses to characterize the population of the smallest dark matter halos. There is a large volume of information in strong gravitational lens images -- the question we seek to answer is to what extent we can refine this information.

On the structure and nature of dark matter halos [PDF]
The structure of dark matter halos as predicted from cosmological models is discussed and compared with observed rotation curves of dark matter-dominated dwarf galaxies. The theoretical models predict that dark matter halos represent a one-parameter family with a universal density profile.

Time delay of light in the gravitational lensing of supermassive black holes in dark matter halos [PDF]
The dark matter halo has non-negligible effects on the gravitational lensing of supermassive black hole in the galaxy center. Our work presents a study on the time-delay of light in gravitational lensing of black holes enclosed by dark matter halos.

Collisional Dark Matter and the Structure of Dark Halos [PDF]
We study how the internal structure of dark halos is affected if Cold Dark Matter particles are assumed to have a large cross-section for elastic collisions. We identify a cluster halo in a large cosmological N-body simulation and resimulate its formation with progressively increasing resolution.

The GD-1 Stellar Stream Perturber as a Core-collapsed Self-interacting Dark Matter Halo [PDF]
The GD-1 stellar stream exhibits spur and gap structures that may result from a close encounter with a dense substructure. When interpreted as a dark matter subhalo, the perturber is denser than predicted in the standard cold dark matter (CDM) model.

Universal scaling laws and density slopes for dark matter haloes [PDF]
Smalls scale challenges suggest some missing pieces in our current understanding of dark matter. A cascade theory for dark matter is proposed to provide extra insights, similar to the cascade phenomenon in hydrodynamic turbulence.

A Cuspy Dark Matter Halo [PDF]
Abstract The cusp–core problem is one of the main challenges of the cold dark matter paradigm on small scales; the density of a dark matter halo is predicted to rise rapidly toward the center as ρ(r) ∝ r α with α between −1 and −1.5, while such a cuspy profile has not been ...

Dark Matter Haloes and Subhaloes [PDF]
The development of methods and algorithms to solve the N-body problem for classical, collisionless, non-relativistic particles has made it possible to follow the growth and evolution of cosmic dark matter structures over most of the universe’s history.
