SHARP

Strong lensing at High Angular Resolution Program

Overview

The SHARP team is using a combination of high-resolution imaging, strong gravitational lensing, and state-of-the art mass modeling codes to explore interesting questions in astrophysics and cosmology. The primary goal of SHARP is to investigate the nature of dark matter through the statistics of low-mass dark matter halos. These structures are detected gravitationally through their perturbations of the lensing signal. For more information about this and other projects, please visit our Research page.
