Extended Data Fig. 7: Best ψDM realization for overall agreement of lensed radio jets.
From: Einstein rings modulated by wavelike dark matter from anomalies in gravitationally lensed images
A single realization of our model ψDM lens that yields the best overall agreement between the predicted and observed positions of the multiply lensed radio images (indicated by blue and red symbols) among the seventy-five different realizations explored. We do not consider how well our model ψDM lens reproduces the HST positions of the multiply lensed QSO (indicated by black symbols) as there is an uncertainty of a few 10 mas between the registration of the radio and optical reference frames. As in Fig. 4, observed image positions are indicated by ellipses, each with a radius or semi-major and semi-minor axes of 3σ (where σ is the measurement uncertainty) so as to encompass 99.7% of all possible positions. Dots indicate the positions of the quadruply lensed images predicted by this particular realization of the model ψDM lens, with arm lengths corresponding to ± 3σtol (for which σtol reflects tolerances in the inferred parameters of the model ϱDM lens as described in Methods).
