The Phoenix Project: the dark side of rich Galaxy clusters (2012)
Journal Article
Gao, L., Navarro, J., Frenk, C., Jenkins, A., Springel, V., & White, S. (2012). The Phoenix Project: the dark side of rich Galaxy clusters. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 425(3), 2169-2186. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21564.x

We introduce the Phoenix Project, a set of Λ cold dark matter (CDM) simulations of the dark matter component of nine rich galaxy clusters. Each cluster is simulated at least at two different numerical resolutions. For eight of them, the highest resol... Read More about The Phoenix Project: the dark side of rich Galaxy clusters.

On the effects of line-of-sight structures on lensing flux-ratio anomalies in a ΛCDM universe (2012)
Journal Article
Xu, D., Mao, S., Cooper, A., Gao, L., Frenk, C., Angulo, R., & Helly, J. (2012). On the effects of line-of-sight structures on lensing flux-ratio anomalies in a ΛCDM universe. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 421(3), 2553-2567. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.20484.x

The flux-ratio anomalies observed in multiply lensed quasar images are most plausibly explained as the result of perturbing structures superposed on the underlying smooth matter distribution of the primary lens. The cold dark matter cosmological mode... Read More about On the effects of line-of-sight structures on lensing flux-ratio anomalies in a ΛCDM universe.

The haloes of bright satellite galaxies in a warm dark matter universe (2012)
Journal Article
Lovell, M., Eke, V., Frenk, C., Gao, L., Jenkins, A., Theuns, T., …Ruchayskiy, O. (2012). The haloes of bright satellite galaxies in a warm dark matter universe. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 420(3), 2318-2324. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.20200.x

High-resolution N-body simulations of galactic cold dark matter haloes indicate that we should expect to find a few satellite galaxies around the Milky Way whose haloes have a maximum circular velocity in excess of 40 km s−1. Yet, with the exception... Read More about The haloes of bright satellite galaxies in a warm dark matter universe.

Where will supersymmetric dark matter first be seen? (2012)
Journal Article
Gao, L., Frenk, C., Jenkins, A., Springel, V., & White, S. (2012). Where will supersymmetric dark matter first be seen?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 419(2), 1721-1726. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2011.19836.x

If the dark matter consists of supersymmetric particles, γ-ray observatories such as the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi satellite may detect annihilation radiation from the haloes of galaxies and galaxy clusters. Much recent effort has been de... Read More about Where will supersymmetric dark matter first be seen?.
