Gravitational Lensing by a Massive Object in a Dark Matter Halo. II. Shear, Phase, and Image Geometry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Abstract We study the gravitational lensing influence of a massive object in a dark matter halo, using a simple model of a point mass embedded in a spherical Navarro–Frenk–White halo. Building on the analysis of critical curves and caustics presented in the first part of this work, we proceed to explore the geometry of images formed by ...

Dark against Luminous Matter around Isolated Central Galaxies: A Comparative Study between Modern Surveys and IllustrisTNG

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Based on independent shear measurements using the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey/DR8 imaging data, we measure the weak lensing signals around isolated central galaxies (ICGs) from Sloan Digital Sky Survey/DR7 at z ∼ 0.1.

Particle dark matter searches in the anisotropic sky

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2014
Anisotropies in the electromagnetic emission produced by dark matter annihilation or decay in the extragalactic sky are a recent tool in the quest for a particle dark matter evidence.

Weak gravitational lensing in the standard cold dark matter model, using an algorithm for three-dimensional shear [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1999
We investigate the effects of weak gravitational lensing in the standard Cold Dark Matter cosmology, using an algorithm which evaluates the shear in three dimensions. The algorithm has the advantage of variable softening for the particles, and our method allows the appropriate angular diameter distances to be applied to every evaluation location within

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.
