Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cautun, M., van de Weygaert, R., Jones, B., Frenk, C., & Hellwing, W. (2015, March). Nexus of the Cosmic Web. Presented at Thirteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting, Stockholm University

One of the important unknowns of current cosmology concerns the effects of the large scale distribution of matter on the formation and evolution of dark matter haloes and galaxies. One main difficulty in answering this question lies in the absence of... Read More about Nexus of the Cosmic Web.

How well can cold dark matter substructures account for the observed radio flux-ratio anomalies (2015)
Journal Article

Discrepancies between the observed and model-predicted radio flux ratios are seen in a number of quadruply-lensed quasars. The most favoured interpretation of these anomalies is that cold dark matter (CDM) substructures present in lensing galaxies pe...
