TDCOSMO. XXVII. JWST-based Lens Models and H Measurement of WFI2033, HE0435, and PG1115

D. M. Williams, T. Treu, D. P. Johnson +13

Time-delay cosmography offers a one-step, distance-ladder-independent route to the Hubble-Lemaitre constant, H_0. We present new cosmography-grade lens models of three quadruply im…

The free-streaming length of dark matter from JWST observations of 28 strong gravitational lenses

D. Gilman, A. M. Nierenberg, T. Treu +24

The formation of gravitationally bound overdensities of dark matter (DM), or \textit{halos}, is a generic prediction of theories with particle DM. We present a measurement of halo…

Spectral Handling and Estimation of AGN Parameters (SHEAP), The first AGN fitting GPU-based code

F. Ávila-Vera, P. Sánchez-Sáez, V. Motta +1

In the coming years, the number of discovered active galactic nuclei (AGN) is expected to increase significantly due to upcoming spectroscopic surveys. This growth will challenge c…

TDCOSMO XXVI: Uniform lens modeling of eight doubly imaged quasars

Ryan Brady, Xiang-Yu Huang, Simon Birrer +7

We present the first uniform gravitational lens modeling analysis of eight doubly imaged quasars from multi-band observations with the Hubble Space Telescope. Previous time-delay c…

SLSim: a strong lensing population simulation package

Narayan Khadka, Simon Birrer, Henry Best +45

Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into cosmology by bending light around massive objects. Strong gravitational lensing, in particular, produces magnified and often multi…

JWST Lensed Quasar Dark Matter Survey III: Dark Matter Sensitive Flux Ratios and Warm Dark Matter Constraint from the Full Sample

R. E. Keeley, A. M. Nierenberg, D. Gilman +24

We present the full sample of measurements of the warm dust emission of 31 strongly-lensed, multiply imaged quasars, observed with JWST MIRI multiband imaging, which we use to cons…

JWST lensed quasar dark matter survey IV: Stringent warm dark matter constraints from the joint reconstruction of extended lensed arcs and quasar flux ratios

D. Gilman, A. M. Nierenberg, T. Treu +23

We present a measurement of the free-streaming length of dark matter (DM) and subhalo abundance around 28 quadruple image strong lenses using observations from JWST MIRI presented…

TDCOSMO 2025: Cosmological constraints from strong lensing time delays

TDCOSMO Collaboration, Simon Birrer, Elizabeth J. Buckley-Geer +30

We present cosmological constraints from 8 strongly lensed quasars (hereafter, the TDCOSMO-2025 sample). Building on previous work, our analysis incorporated new deflector stellar…

JWST Lensed quasar dark matter survey II: Strongest gravitational lensing limit on the dark matter free streaming length to date

Ryan E. Keeley, Anna M. Nierenberg, Daniel Gilman +20

This is the second in a series of papers in which we use JWST MIRI multiband imaging to measure the warm dust emission in a sample of 31 multiply imaged quasars, to be used as a pr…

Microlensing of strongly lensed quasars

G. Vernardos, D. Sluse, D. Pooley +9

Strong gravitational lensing of quasars has the potential to unlock the poorly understood physics of these fascinating objects, as well as serve as a probe of the lensing mass dist…

JWST lensed quasar dark matter survey I: Description and First Results

A. M. Nierenberg, R. E. Keeley, D. Sluse +18

The flux ratios of gravitationally lensed quasars provide a powerful probe of the nature of dark matter. Importantly, these ratios are sensitive to small-scale structure, irrespect…

Strong Lensing by Galaxies

A. J. Shajib, G. Vernardos, T. E. Collett +7

Strong gravitational lensing at the galaxy scale is a valuable tool for various applications in astrophysics and cosmology. The primary uses of galaxy-scale lensing are to study el…

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…

The STRong lensing Insights into the Dark Energy Survey (STRIDES) 2016 follow-up campaign. II. New quasar lenses from double component fitting

T. Anguita, P. L. Schechter, N. Kuropatkin +56

We report upon the follow up of 34 candidate lensed quasars found in the Dark Energy Survey using NTT-EFOSC, Magellan-IMACS, KECK-ESI and SOAR-SAMI. These candidates were selected…
