How thick are Mercury's polar water ice deposits? (2016)
Journal Article
Eke, V. R., Lawrence, D. J., & Teodoro, L. F. (2017). How thick are Mercury's polar water ice deposits?. Icarus, 284, 407-415. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2016.12.001

An estimate is made of the thickness of the radar-bright deposits in craters near to Mercury’s north pole. To construct an objective set of craters for this measurement, an automated crater finding algorithm is developed and applied to a digital elev...

What does the Bullet Cluster tell us about self-interacting dark matter? (2016)
Journal Article
Robertson, A., Massey, R., & Eke, V. (2017). What does the Bullet Cluster tell us about self-interacting dark matter?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 465(1), 569-587. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2670

We perform numerical simulations of the merging galaxy cluster 1E 0657−56 (the Bullet Cluster), including the effects of elastic dark matter scattering. In a similar manner to the stripping of gas by ram pressure, dark matter self-interactions would... Read More about What does the Bullet Cluster tell us about self-interacting dark matter?.
