    Globular clusters systems and their host dark matter halos
    In the Λ-CDM galaxy formation paradigm, the star formation history of a galaxy is coupled to the total mass of its dark matter halo through processes like...

    Gravitational Lens Models Based on Submillimeter Array Imaging of Herschel-selected Strongly Lensed Sub-millimeter Galaxies at z > 1.5
    Strong gravitational lenses are now being routinely discovered in wide-field surveys at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths. We present Submillimeter Array (SMA) high...

    Gravitational microlensing effects on the broad emission lines of quasars .
    Multiple images of QSOs are formed when the gravitational field of an intervening galaxy bends the trajectories of the light rays. The granulation of the lens...
