The impact of human expert visual inspection on the discovery of strong gravitational lenses

Karina Rojas, Thomas E. Collett, Daniel Ballard +53

We investigate the ability of human 'expert' classifiers to identify strong gravitational lens candidates in Dark Energy Survey like imaging. We recruited a total of 55 people that…

Discovery of Strongly Lensed Quasars in the Ultraviolet Near Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS)

J. H. H. Chan, C. Lemon, F. Courbin +13

We report the discovery of five new doubly-imaged lensed quasars from the first 2500 square degrees of the ongoing Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS), which is a component of the…

Strong lensing in UNIONS: Toward a pipeline from discovery to modeling

E. Savary, K. Rojas, M. Maus +16

We present a search for galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses in the initial 2 500 square degrees of the Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS). We designed a convolutional neural…

Strong lens systems search in the Dark Energy Survey using Convolutional Neural Networks

K. Rojas, E. Savary, B. Clément +8

We performed a search for strong lens galaxy-scale systems in the first data release of the Dark Energy Survey (DES), from a color-selected parent sample of 18~745~029 Luminous Red…

HOLISMOKES -- II. Identifying galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses in Pan-STARRS using convolutional neural networks

R. Canameras, S. Schuldt, S. H. Suyu +6

We present a systematic search for wide-separation (Einstein radius >1.5"), galaxy-scale strong lenses in the 30 000 sq.deg of the Pan-STARRS 3pi survey on the Northern sky. With l…

Galaxy Image Simulation Using Progressive GANs

Mohamad Dia, Elodie Savary, Martin Melchior +1

In this work, we provide an efficient and realistic data-driven approach to simulate astronomical images using deep generative models from machine learning. Our solution is based o…

Impact of the 3D source geometry on time-delay measurements of lensed type-Ia Supernovae

V. Bonvin, O. Tihhonova, M. Millon +4

It has recently been proposed that gravitationally lensed type-Ia supernovae can provide microlensing-free time-delay measurements provided that the measurement is taken during the…

Overview of the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys

Arjun Dey, David J. Schlegel, Dustin Lang +157

The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys are a combination of three public projects (the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey, the Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey, and the Mayall z-band Legacy Surve…
