Constraining resonant dark matter self-interactions with strong gravitational lenses
We devise a method to constrain self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) from observations of
quadruply imaged quasars, and apply it to five self-interaction potentials with a long-range …

A comprehensive model for the formation and evolution of the faintest Milky Way dwarf satellites
In this study, we modify the semi-analytic model galacticus in order to accurately reproduce
the observed properties of dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way. We find that reproducing …
