Weak gravitational lensing measurements of Abell 2744 using JWST and shear measurement algorithm pyRRG-JWST (2024)
Journal Article
Harvey, D. R., & Massey, R. (2024). Weak gravitational lensing measurements of Abell 2744 using JWST and shear measurement algorithm pyRRG-JWST. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 529(2), 802-809. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae370

We update the publicly available weak lensing shear measurement algorithm pyRRG for the JWST, and apply it to UNCOVER DR1 imaging of galaxy cluster Abell 2744. At short wavelengths (⁠ m), shear measurements are consistent between independent observa...

The rheological response of magma to nanolitisation (2024)
Journal Article
Pereira, L., Linard, Y., Wadsworth, F. B., Vasseur, J., Hess, K., Moretti, R., …Neuville, D. R. (2024). The rheological response of magma to nanolitisation. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 448, Article 108039. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2024.108039

Viscosity exerts a fundamental control on magmatic kinetics and dynamics, controlling magma ascent, eruptive style, and the emplacement of lava. Nanolites – crystals smaller than a micron – are thought to affect magma viscosity, but the underlying me... Read More about The rheological response of magma to nanolitisation.

Annexation Attempts as a Two-Level Game: Israel and the West Bank in 1967 and 2020 (2024)
Journal Article
Geist Pinfold, R., & Eiran, E. (2024). Annexation Attempts as a Two-Level Game: Israel and the West Bank in 1967 and 2020. Journal of Global Security Studies, 9(2), Article ogae013. https://doi.org/10.1093/jogss/ogae013

Annexation attempts threaten international security and the rules-based world order. Yet, studies of annexation are rare, whilst the scant relevant literature is great-power centric. This article therefore asks why some non-great power annexations su... Read More about Annexation Attempts as a Two-Level Game: Israel and the West Bank in 1967 and 2020.

Inferring the dark matter splashback radius from cluster gas and observable profiles in the FLAMINGO simulations (2024)
Journal Article
Towler, I., Kay, S. T., Schaye, J., Kugel, R., Schaller, M., Braspenning, J., …Altamura, E. (2024). Inferring the dark matter splashback radius from cluster gas and observable profiles in the FLAMINGO simulations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 529(3), 2017-2031. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae654

The splashback radius, coinciding with the minimum in the dark matter radial density gradient, is thought to be a universal definition of the edge of a dark matter halo. Observational methods to detect it have traced the dark matter using weak gravit...
