We devise a method to measure the abundance of satellite halos in gravitational lens galaxies, and apply our method to a sample of 7 lens systems. After using Monte Carlo simulations to verify the method, we find that substructure comprises fraction f=0.02 (median, 0.006<f<0.07 at 90% confidence) of the mass of typical lens galaxies, in excellent agreement with predictions of CDM simulations. We estimate a characteristic critical radius for the satellites of 0.0001<b/arcsec<0.006 (90% confidence). For a satellite mass function of dn/dM M^x with x=-1.8 and M_l<M<M_h, the critical radius provides an estimate that the upper mass limit is 10^6Msun < M_h < 10^9Msun. Our measurement confirms a generic prediction of CDM models, and may obviate the need to invoke alternatives to CDM like warm dark matter or self-interacting dark matter.

Probing Dark Matter Substructure with Wave-Optics Distortions of Strongly Lensed LISA Gravitational Waves
Simulated four-year-LISA lensed waveforms show fuzzy-dark-matter substructure leaves a frequency-dependent phase residual that distinguishes it from NFW or self-interacting halos with ~60–110 resolved images.

The dark matter halo mass function in the $\Lambda\mathrm{CDM}$ cosmology at all times and over all scales -- from planetary to galaxy cluster masses
A Reed-based fitting formula for the ΛCDM halo mass function, accurate to a few percent from 10^{-6} to 10^{15.5} M_⊙ and z=0–30, obtained via nested VVV simulations plus a new subsampling reconstruction.

The free-streaming length of dark matter from JWST observations of 28 strong gravitational lenses
JWST lensing data on 28 systems constrain dark matter free-streaming length to below 6-7 kpc and thermal relic mass above 6.5-7.4 keV, consistent with cold dark matter predictions.

JWST lensed quasar dark matter survey IV: Stringent warm dark matter constraints from the joint reconstruction of extended lensed arcs and quasar flux ratios
Adding extended lensed arcs to quasar flux ratios in 28 JWST lenses tightens the dark-matter free-streaming limit to m_hm < 10^7.4 M⊙ (galacticus prior) and gives the most precise lensing measurement of subhalo abundance.

Globular cluster distributions as a dynamical probe of dark matter
N-body and semianalytic simulations indicate that globular cluster distributions in UDG1 and Fornax require dark matter halos via dynamical friction, while DF44 yields no strong constraint.

Gravitational waves of extreme-mass-ratio inspirals in a rotating black hole with Dehnen dark matter halo
EMRI waveforms in a rotating black hole with Dehnen DM halo show amplitude and phase shifts from Kerr, with mismatch rising as DM mass parameter and black hole spin increase.
