The properties of low-mass dark matter (DM) halos appear to be remarkably diverse relative to cold, collisionless DM predictions, even in the presence of baryons. We show that self-interacting DM (SIDM) can simultaneously explain…
We use the conditional luminosity function (CLF) and data from the 2dFGRS to constrain the average relation between light and mass in a LCDM cosmology with Omega_m=0.23 and sigma_8=0.74 (hereafter WMAP3 cosmology). Reproducing the observed…
We propose a novel use of high-redshift galaxies, discovered in deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) fields around strong lensing clusters. These fields probe small comoving volumes (about 1000 cubic Mpc) at high magnification ({\mu} > 10),…
We use hydrodynamical cosmological simulations to test the differences between cold and self-interacting dark matter models (CDM and SIDM) in the mass range of massive galaxies ($10^{12}M_{\odot}h^{-1}<M<10^{13.5}M_{\odot}h^{-1}$). We…
