LensingETC: a tool to optimize multi-filter imaging campaigns of galaxy-scale strong lensing systems

Anowar J. Shajib, Karl Glazebrook, Tania Barone +7

Imaging data is the principal observable required to use galaxy-scale strong lensing in a multitude of applications in extragalactic astrophysics and cosmology. In this paper, we d…

lenstronomy II: A gravitational lensing software ecosystem

Simon Birrer, Anowar J. Shajib, Daniel Gilman +18

lenstronomy is an Astropy-affiliated Python package for gravitational lensing simulations and analyses. lenstronomy was introduced by Birrer and Amara (2018) and is based on the li…

Improved time-delay lens modelling and inference with transient sources

Xuheng Ding, Kai Liao, Simon Birrer +3

Strongly lensed explosive transients such as supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, fast radio bursts, and gravitational waves are very promising tools to determine the Hubble constant ($H_…

High-resolution imaging follow-up of doubly imaged quasars

Anowar J. Shajib, Eden Molina, Adriano Agnello +8

We report upon three years of follow-up and confirmation of doubly imaged quasar lenses through imaging campaigns from 2016-2018 with the Near-Infrared Camera2 (NIRC2) on the W. M.…

TDCOSMO IV: Hierarchical time-delay cosmography -- joint inference of the Hubble constant and galaxy density profiles

S. Birrer, A. J. Shajib, A. Galan +24

The H0LiCOW collaboration inferred via gravitational lensing time delays a Hubble constant km s, describing deflector mass density pro…

STRIDES: Spectroscopic and photometric characterization of the environment and effects of mass along the line of sight to the gravitational lenses DES J0408-5354 and WGD 2038-4008

E. J. Buckley-Geer, H. Lin, C. Rusu +65

In time-delay cosmography, three of the key ingredients are 1) determining the velocity dispersion of the lensing galaxy, 2) identifying galaxies and groups along the line of sight…
