Transient star B/R ratio and star formation in lensed galaxies
Sung Kei Li, Jose M. Palencia, Jose M. Diego +8
The extreme magnification from galaxy clusters and microlenses therein allows the detection of individual, luminous stars in lensed galaxies as transient events, and hence provides…
Microlensing at Cosmological Distances: Event Rate Predictions in the Warhol Arc of MACS 0416
J. M. Palencia, J. M. Diego, L. Dai +13
Highly magnified stars ( 100) are now outinely identified as transient events at cosmological distances thanks to microlensing by intra-cluster stars near the critical curve…
Constraining the z 1 Initial Mass Function with {\it HST} and {\it JWST} Lensed Stars in MACS J0416.1-2403
Sung Kei Li, Jose M. Diego, Ashish K. Meena +19
Our understanding of galaxy properties and evolution is contingent on knowing the initial mass function (IMF), and yet to date, the IMF is constrained only to local galaxies. Indiv…
A high-resolution view of the source-plane magnification near cluster caustics in wave dark matter models
Jose M. Diego, Alfred Amruth, Jose M. Palencia +10
We present the highest resolution images to date of caustics formed by wave dark matter (DM) fluctuations near the critical curves of cluster gravitational lenses. We describe t…
Dark Matter distinguished by skewed microlensing in the "Dragon Arc"
Tom Broadhurst, Sung Kei Li, Amruth Alfred +18
Microlensed stars recently discovered by JWST & HST follow closely the winding critical curve of A370 along all sections of the ``Dragon Arc" traversed by the critical curve. These…
Imaging dark matter at the smallest scales with lensed stars
J. M. Diego, Sung Kei Li, Alfred Amruth +19
Observations of caustic-crossing galaxies at redshift show a wealth of transient events. Most of them are believed to be microlensing events of highly magnified stars. Ea…
