Abell 1201: Detection of an Ultramassive Black Hole in a Strong Gravitational Lens
James. W. Nightingale, Russell J. Smith, Qiuhan He +9
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are a key catalyst of galaxy formation and evolution, leading to an observed correlation between SMBH mass and host galaxy velocity di…
The wide-field, multiplexed, spectroscopic facility WEAVE: Survey design, overview, and simulated implementation
Shoko Jin, Scott C. Trager, Gavin B. Dalton +212
WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for the William Herschel Telescope, will see first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a new 2-degree…
Comparing Lensing and Stellar Orbital Models of a Nearby Massive Strong-Lens Galaxy
Adriano Poci, Russell J. Smith
Exploiting the relative proximity of the nearby strong-lens galaxy SNL-1, we present a critical comparison of the mass estimates derived from independent modelling techniques. We f…
Probing cool giants in unresolved galaxies using fluctuation eigenspectra: a demonstration using high-resolution MUSE observations of NGC 5128
Russell J. Smith
I describe and demonstrate a new approach to using spectroscopic data to exploit Poisson sampling fluctuations in unresolved stellar populations. The method is introduced using spe…
A fully-spectroscopic triple-source-plane lens: the Jackpot completed
Russell J. Smith, Thomas E. Collett
We present a spectroscopic determination of the redshift of the second source in the Jackpot gravitational lens system J0946+1006, for which only a photometric estimate of $z_{\rm…
A Triple Rollover: A third multiply-imaged source at z~6 behind the Jackpot gravitational lens
Thomas E. Collett, Russell J. Smith
UUsing a five-hour adaptive-optics-assisted observation with MUSE, we have identified a doubly-imaged Ly alpha source at redshift 5.975 behind the z=0.222 lens galaxy J0946+1006 ('…
