Observable tests of self-interacting dark matter in galaxy clusters: BCG wobbles in a constant density core

Models of cold dark matter (CDM) predict that the distribution of dark matter in galaxy clusters should be cuspy, centrally concentrated. Constant density cores would be strong evidence for beyond CDM physics, such as self-interacting dark matter (SIDM). A ...

Growing a 'cosmic beast': observations and simulations of MACS J0717.5+3745

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Richard Harvey, Barney Frederick Drake, Mathilde Jauzac, Matthieu Schaller, Matthew Aaron Robertson, Elena Cristina Dalla Vecchia, Richard Massey

We present a gravitational lensing and X-ray analysis of a massive galaxy cluster and its surroundings. The core of MACS J0717.5+3745 (M(R < 1Mpc) similar to 2 x 10(15) M-circle dot, z = 0.54) is already known to contain four merging components. We show th ...

The impact of cored density profiles on the observable quantities of dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Yves Revaz, David Richard Harvey, Loïc Hausammann

We modify the chemo-dynamical code GEAR to simulate the impact of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) on the observable quantities of 19 low-mass dwarf galaxies with a variety star-forming properties. We employ a relatively high, velocity independent cross ...

Abell 2744: too much substructure for Lambda CDM?

David Richard Harvey, Mathilde Jauzac, Richard Massey

The massive substructures found in Abell 2744 by Jauzac et al. present a challenge to the cold dark matter paradigm due to their number and proximity to the cluster centre. We use one of the biggest N-body simulations, the Millennium XXL, to investigate th ...

Potential Recoiling Supermassive Black Hole, CXO J101527.2+625911

David Richard Harvey

We have carried out a systematic search for recoiling supermassive black holes (rSMBH) using the Chandra Source and SDSS Cross-Match Catalog. From the survey, we have detected a potential rSMBH, CXO J101527.2 +625911, at z = 0.3504. The source CXO J101527. ...

Looking for dark matter trails in colliding galaxy clusters

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Richard Harvey, Richard Massey

If dark matter interacts, even weakly, via non-gravitational forces, simulations predict that it will be preferentially scattered towards the trailing edge of the halo during collisions between galaxy clusters. This will temporarily create a non-symmetric ...

A test for skewed distributions of dark matter, and a possible detection in galaxy cluster Abell 3827

Frédéric Courbin, David Richard Harvey, Rémy Elie Joseph, Mathilde Jauzac, Richard Massey

Simulations of self-interacting dark matter predict that dark matter should lag behind galaxies during a collision. If the interaction is mediated by a high-mass force carrier, the distribution of dark matter can also develop asymmetric dark matter tails. ...
