Gravitationally lensed quasars in Gaia -- IV. 150 new lenses, quasar pairs, and projected quasars
C. Lemon, T. Anguita, M. Auger +8
We report the spectroscopic follow-up of 175 lensed quasar candidates selected using Gaia Data Release 2 observations following Lemon et al. 2019. Systems include 86 confirmed lens…
STRIDES: Automated uniform models for 30 quadruply imaged quasars
T. Schmidt, T. Treu, S. Birrer +68
Gravitational time delays provide a powerful one step measurement of , independent of all other probes. One key ingredient in time delay cosmography are high accuracy lens mod…
The Quadruple Image Configurations of Asymptotically Circular Gravitational Lenses
Chirag Falor, Paul L. Schechter
The quadruple image configurations of gravitational lenses with vanishing ellipticity are examined. Even though such lenses asymptotically approach circularity, the configurations…
A Taxonomy for the Configurations of Quadruply Lensed Quasars
Paul L. Schechter
A simple, novice-friendly scheme for classifying the image configurations of quadruply lensed quasars is proposed. With only six classes, it is intentionally coarse-grained. It foc…
Strong Lensing Science Collaboration input to the on-sky commissioning of the Vera Rubin Observatory
Graham P. Smith, Timo Anguita, Simon Birrer +10
We present the Strong Lensing Science Collaboration's (SLSC) recommended observing targets for the science verification and science validation phases of commissioning. Our recommen…
"Worst-Case" Micro-Lensing in the Identification and Modeling of Lensed Quasars
Luke Weisenbach, Paul Schechter, Sahil Pontula
Although micro-lensing of macro-lensed quasars and supernovae provides unique opportunities for several kinds of investigations, it can add unwanted and sometimes substantial noise…
