Paper uses machine learning to detect dark matter subhalos in simulated Gaia DR2 data.
problem Detecting dark matter subhalos in simulated Gaia DR2 data.
method Proposed anomaly detection and classification-based approaches.
result Anomaly detection algorithm is sensitive to DM subhalos, but classification-based approach is not.
Towards constraining warm dark matter with stellar streams through neural simulation-based inferenceastro-ph.GA
New method uses neural networks to infer dark matter subhalo abundance from stellar streams.
problem Constrain warm dark matter mass using stellar streams.
method Amortized Approximate Likelihood Ratios (AALR) for likelihood-free Bayesian inference.
result Demonstrates effectiveness of new method for estimating dark matter subhalo abundance.
The subtle and unique imprint of dark matter substructure on extended arcs in strong lensing systems contains a wealth of information about the properties and distribution of dark matter on small scales and, consequently, about the underlying particle physics. However, teasing out this effect poses a significant challe…
