A lensed radio jet at milli-arcsecond resolution – II. Constraints on fuzzy dark matter from an extended gravitational arc

Using a single gravitational lens system observed at ≲ 5 mas resolution with very long baseline interferometry, we place a lower bound on the mass of the fuzzy dark matter (FDM) particle, ruling out mχ ≤ 4.4 × 10−21 eV with a 20:1 posterior odds ratio relative to a smooth lens model. We generalize o...
