The core structure of galaxy clusters is fundamentally important. Even though self-gravitating systems have no stable equilibrium state due to their negative heat capacity, numerical simulations find density profiles which are universal in the sense that they are fairly flat within a scale radius and gradually steepen farther outward, asymptotically approaching a logarithmic slope of ≈−3 near the...
Gravitational lensing can be used to determine whether the dark matter in galactic halos is in the form of objects of stellar or sub-stellar mass. Searches for these MACHOs (MAssive Compact Halo Objects) have become popular in our own Milky Way from studies of the rare events of a MACHO magnifying a star in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Here we show that we can also address this question by investigating...
