Synchronize your chrono-brane: testing a variable brane tension model with strong gravitational lensing by Tomás Verdugo, Mario H. Amante, Juan Magaña, Miguel A. García-Aspeitia, Alberto Hernández-Almada, Verónica Motta

“…In this paper we present a strong lensing joint analysis using a compilation of early-type galaxies acting as a lenses, united with the power of the well studied strong lensing galaxy cluster Abell 1689. We use the strong lensing constraints to investigate a brane model with variable brane tension as a function of the redshift. …”

Evidence of Runaway Gas Cooling in the Absence of Supermassive Black Hole Feedback at the Epoch of Cluster Formation by Hlavacek-Larrondo, J, Rhea, CL, Webb, T, McDonald, M, Muzzin, A, Wilson, G, Finner, K, Valin, F, Bonaventura, N, Cooper, M, Fabian, AC, Gendron-Marsolais, ML, Jee, MJ, Lidman, C, Mezcua, M, Noble, A, Russell, HR, Surace, J, Trudeau, A, Yee, HKC

“…This has been clearly demonstrated in the case of galaxy clusters in which powerful feedback from the central black hole is preventing the hot intracluster gas from cooling catastrophically, thus reducing the expected star formation rates by orders of magnitude. …”
