The formation and assembly of a typical star-forming galaxy at redshift z~3, D.P. Stark... - 0 views

  •  
    A very nice recent illustration of the power of gravitational lensing to magnify the distant universe. (A)
Tommaso Treu

A blue ring-like structure, in the center of the A 370 cluster of galaxies, G. Soucail,... - 0 views

  •  
    The discovery of the first giant arcs is described in this classic paper; it marks the beginning of the study of cluster strong lenses as cosmic telescopes. (A)
Tommaso Treu

The Survival of Dark Matter Halos in the Cluster Cl 0024+16, P. Natarajan, J.-P. Kneib,... - 0 views

  •  
    This study of dark matter substructure in a cluster of galaxies, using both strong and weak lensing, covered an unprecedently wide dynamic range of cluster mass density and infalling group environments, and provided comparison with simulations regarding the cluster dark matter density profile. (A)
Tommaso Treu

Effects of dark matter substructures on gravitational lensing: results from the Aquariu... - 0 views

  •  
    A recent treatment of the substructure problem from a theoretical point of view. The authors compare predictions from numerical simulations with observations of strong lens flux-ratio anomalies and find that strong lenses may even indicate an excess of massive satellites. (A)
Tommaso Treu

Detection of a dark substructure through gravitational imaging, S. Vegetti, L.V.E. Koop... - 0 views

  •  
    Describes a dark galactic satellite detected at cosmological distances, purely based on the strong gravitational lensing effect. (A)
Tommaso Treu

Direct Detection of Cold Dark Matter Substructure. N. Dalal and C.S. Kochanek, Astrophy... - 0 views

  •  
    In this very influential paper, the authors used a small sample of gravitational lenses observed in the radio to infer limits on the presence of dark substructure. (A)
Tommaso Treu

Evidence for substructure in lens galaxies? S. Mao and P. Schneider, Mon. Not. Roy. Ast... - 0 views

  •  
    This seminal paper suggested the presence of dark substructure as the cause of the so-called flux-ratio anomalies. (A)
Tommaso Treu

Dark Matter Contraction and the Stellar Content of Massive Early-type Galaxies: Disfavo... - 0 views

  •  
    A concise paper that combines strong and weak lensing constraints with stellar kinematics to show that the initial mass function of massive (lens) galaxies is not consistent with light ones such as those advocated for spiral galaxies. (A)
Tommaso Treu

The SWELLS survey - I. A large spectroscopically selected sample of edge-on latelatetyp... - 0 views

  •  
    A recent description of the rationale for studying spiral galaxies with strong gravitational lensing and the challenges associated with finding large samples of them. (A)
Tommaso Treu

The Dark Matter Distribution in A383: Evidence for a Shallow Density Cusp from Improved... - 0 views

  •  
    A good example of astronomers attempting to combine information from several sources to constrain a self-consistent model of a cluster gravitational potential. (A)
Tommaso Treu

The Sloan Lens ACS Survey. X. Stellar, Dynamical, and Total Mass Correlations of Massiv... - 0 views

  •  
    A recent and up-to-date paper on the distribution of stellar and dark matter in early-type galaxies using strong lensing, stellar kinematics, and other astrophysical tools. (A)
Tommaso Treu

Massive Dark Matter Halos and Evolution of Early-Type Galaxies to z ~ 1. T. Treu and L.... - 0 views

  •  
    A clear illustration of the power of combining gravitational lensing with other diagnostics (in this case stellar kinematics) for the study of stars and dark matter in galaxies and their evolution over cosmic time. (A)
