Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 510, 2464-2479. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab3527

A defining prediction of the cold dark matter cosmological model is the existence of a very large population of low-mass haloes. This population is absent in models in which the dark matter particle is warm (WDM). These alternatives can, in principle...

Strong gravitational lensing, which can make a background source galaxy appears multiple times due to its light rays being deflected by the mass of one or more foreground lens galaxies, provides astronomers with a powerful tool to study dark matter,...
