The STRong lensing Insights into the Dark Energy Survey (STRIDES) 2017/2018 follow-up campaign: Discovery of 10 lensed quasars and 10 quasar pairs

C. Lemon, M. W. Auger, R. McMahon +65

We report the results of the STRong lensing Insights from the Dark Energy Survey (STRIDES) follow-up campaign of the late 2017/early 2018 season. We obtained spectra of 65 lensed q…

TDCOSMO. I. An exploration of systematic uncertainties in the inference of from time-delay cosmography

M. Millon, A. Galan, F. Courbin +22

Time-delay cosmography of lensed quasars has achieved 2.4% precision on the measurement of the Hubble constant, . As part of an ongoing effort to uncover and control systemati…

STRIDES: a 3.9 per cent measurement of the Hubble constant from the strong lens system DES J0408-5354

A. J. Shajib, S. Birrer, T. Treu +88

We present a blind time-delay cosmographic analysis for the lens system DES J04085354. This system is extraordinary for the presence of two sets of multiple images at different…

Unified lensing and kinematic analysis for any elliptical mass profile

Anowar J. Shajib

We demonstrate an efficient method to compute the strong-gravitational-lensing deflection angle and magnification for any elliptical surface-density profile. This method solves a n…

The Hubble Constant determined through an inverse distance ladder including quasar time delays and Type Ia supernovae

S. Taubenberger, S. H. Suyu, E. Komatsu +7

Context. The precise determination of the present-day expansion rate of the Universe, expressed through the Hubble constant , is one of the most pressing challenges in modern…

H0LiCOW XII. Lens mass model of WFI2033-4723 and blind measurement of its time-delay distance and

Cristian E. Rusu, Kenneth C. Wong, Vivien Bonvin +15

We present the lens mass model of the quadruply-imaged gravitationally lensed quasar WFI2033-4723, and perform a blind cosmographical analysis based on this system. Our analysis co…
