Abstract
The angular diameter distance of lens, , of strong gravitational lensing systems has been claimed as a cosmic standard ruler. The first measurements for this distance were recently obtained to two well-known systems: B1608+656 and RXJ1131-1231. However, there is a range of possible systematic uncertainties which must be addressed in order to turn these systems into useful cosmic probes. In this paper, we confront with luminosity distances of type Ia supernovae and angular diameter distances of galaxy clusters to search for tensions between these cosmological measurements using the cosmic distance duality relation. No tension was verified with the present data, showing the robustness of the assumptions used to describe the lens systems.
