Discovering Substellar Dark Matter Halos with Astrometric Weak Lensing of Multiply Imaged Quasars
We propose time-domain astrometric weak lensing of multiply imaged quasars as a probe of substellar dark matter (DM) halos. In $\Lambda$CDM, each macro-image's light traverses many microhalos, producing a stochastic centroid motion with a calculable red power spectrum. Halos with crossing times longer than the survey i...
