Gravitational Flexion by Elliptical Dark Matter Haloes
We present equations for the gravitational lensing flexion expected for an elliptical lens mass distribution. These can be reduced to one-dimensional finite integrals, thus saving significant computing time over a full two-dimensional calculation. We estimate constraints on galaxy halo ellipticities for a range of potential future surveys, finding that the constraints from the two different typ...
متن کاملGravitational Lensing by Cold Dark Matter Catastrophes
Intrinsically cold particle dark matter inevitably creates halos with sharp discontinuities in projected surface density caused by the projection of fold catastrophes onto the sky. In principle, these imperfections can be detected and measured with gravitational lensing through discontinuities in image magnification and image structure. Lens solutions are discussed for the most common universal...
متن کاملNon-spherical gravitational collapse of strange quark matter
We study the non-spherical gravitational collapse of the strange quark null fluid. The interesting feature which emerges is that the non-spherical collapse of charged strange quark matter leads to a naked singularity whereas the gravitational collapse of neutral quark matter proceeds to form a black hole. In the present brief report we extend the earlier work of T.Harko and K.S.Cheng to the non...
متن کاملEstimating Dark Matter Distributions
Thanks to instrumental advances, new, very large kinematic datasets for nearby dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are on the horizon. A key aim of these datasets is to help determine the distribution of dark matter in these galaxies. Past analyses have generally relied on specific dynamical models or highly restrictive dynamical assumptions. We describe a new, non-parametric analysis of the kinem...
متن کاملCold Dark Matter and Strong Gravitational Lensing: Concord or Conflict?
Using the number and sizes of observed gravitational lenses, I derive upper limits on the dark matter content of elliptical galaxies. On average, dark matter can account for no more than 33% of the total mass within one effective radius (Re) of elliptical galaxies, or 40% of the mass within 2Re (95% confidence upper limits). I show that galaxies built from Cold Dark Matter (CDM) mass distributi...
