GEAR: A Window on the World of Dwarf Galaxies

Pascale Jablonka, Yves Revaz

GEAR is a new fully parallel chemodynamical Tree/SPH code designed to study the formation and evolution of galaxies. GEAR treats the complex physics of baryons, such as radiative cooling and feedback, star formation, and chemical evolution. It has been ful ...

The haloes of bright satellite galaxies in a warm dark matter universe

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Jie Wang

High-resolution N-body simulations of galactic cold dark matter haloes indicate that we should expect to find a few satellite galaxies around the Milky Way whose haloes have a maximum circular velocity in excess of 40 km s-1. Yet, with the exception of the ...

Comparison-Based Learning with Rank Nets

Amin Karbasi

We consider the problem of search through comparisons, where a user is presented with two candidate objects and reveals which is closer to her intended target. We study adaptive strategies for finding the target, that require knowledge of rank relationship ...

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Yves Revaz, Malte Tewes

We present accurate time delays for the quadruply imaged quasar HE 0435-1223. The delays were measured from 575 independent photometric points obtained in the R-band between January 2004 and March 2010. With seven years of data, we clearly show that quasar ...

Proposed new probe of modified gravity

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

We suggest a new efficient way to constrain a certain class of large scale modifications of gravity. We show that the scale-free relation between density and size of dark matter halos, predicted within the ACDM model with Newtonian gravity, gets modified i ...

Conditional probabilities in the excursion set theory: generic barriers and non-Gaussian initial conditions

Andrea De Simone, Michele Maggiore

The excursion set theory, where density perturbations evolve stochastically with the smoothing scale, provides a method for computing the dark matter halo mass function. The computation of the mass function is mapped into the so-called first-passage time p ...

VLT adaptive optics search for luminous substructures in the lens galaxy towards SDSS J0924+0219

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes, Nicolas Cantale

The anomalous flux ratios between quasar images are suspected of being caused by substructures in lens galaxies. We present new deep and high-resolution H and Ks imaging of the strongly lensed quasar SDSS J0924+0219 obtained using the ESO VLT with adaptive ...

Generalized tensor idempotents and the telescope conjecture

Giordano Favi

We transpose Rickard's construction of idempotent representations to the general context of tensor triangulated categories. We connect our construction to the telescope conjecture and prove that the latter is of local nature. As an illustration, we extend ...

Universal Properties of Dark Matter Halos

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Igor Tkachev

We discuss the universal relation between density and size of observed dark matter halos that was recently shown to hold on a wide range of scales, from dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters. Predictions of cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) N-body simulations are ...

CDMS stands for Constrained Dark Matter Singlet

Duccio Pappadopulo

Motivated by the two candidate Dark Matter events observed by the CDMS experiment, we consider a Constrained Dark Matter Singlet (CDMS) model that, with no free parameters, predicts the DM mass and the DM direct cross section to be in the range weakly favo ...
