SN 2022riv in RX J2129: Discovery, Spectroscopic Classification, and Microlensing of a Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernova from JWST and HST Observations
Birendra Dhanasingham, Patrick L. Kelly, Wenlei Chen +27
The multiply imaged SN 2022riv was discovered through a search of galaxy cluster fields as part of a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) SNAP program to find highly magnified stars. The s…
JWST lens model for A370: A very low dark matter fraction for a brightest cluster galaxy and lensing properties for the Dragon arc
Jose M. Diego, Fengwu Sun, Jose M. Palencia +8
We present a new lens model for the galaxy cluster Abell 370 based on previously spectroscopically confirmed lensed galaxies and new lensed systems identified in JWST dat…
Constraining the z 1 Initial Mass Function with {\it HST} and {\it JWST} Lensed Stars in MACS J0416.1-2403
Sung Kei Li, Jose M. Diego, Ashish K. Meena +19
Our understanding of galaxy properties and evolution is contingent on knowing the initial mass function (IMF), and yet to date, the IMF is constrained only to local galaxies. Indiv…
A high-resolution view of the source-plane magnification near cluster caustics in wave dark matter models
Jose M. Diego, Alfred Amruth, Jose M. Palencia +10
We present the highest resolution images to date of caustics formed by wave dark matter (DM) fluctuations near the critical curves of cluster gravitational lenses. We describe t…
Dark Matter distinguished by skewed microlensing in the "Dragon Arc"
Tom Broadhurst, Sung Kei Li, Amruth Alfred +18
Microlensed stars recently discovered by JWST & HST follow closely the winding critical curve of A370 along all sections of the ``Dragon Arc" traversed by the critical curve. These…
Flashlights: Transients among Gravitationally-Lensed Star Clusters in the Dragon Arc. I. Stellar Microlensing vs Stellar Outbursts
Sung Kei Li, Jose M. Diego, Patrick L. Kelly +8
We report the discovery of transients among star clusters in a distant galaxy that is gravitationally lensed by a foreground galaxy cluster, and explore whether these transients co…
SN H0pe: The First Measurement of from a Multiply-Imaged Type Ia Supernova, Discovered by JWST
Massimo Pascale, Brenda L. Frye, Justin D. R. Pierel +21
The first James Webb Space Telescope ({\it JWST}) Near InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) imaging in the field of the galaxy cluster PLCK G165.7+67.0 () uncovered a Type Ia supernova…
The Magnificent Five Images of Supernova Refsdal: Time Delay and Magnification Measurements
Patrick L. Kelly, Steven Rodney, Tommaso Treu +28
In late 2014, four images of Supernova (SN) "Refsdal," the first known example of a strongly lensed SN with multiple resolved images, were detected in the MACS J1149 galaxy-cluster…
Constraints on the Hubble constant from Supernova Refsdal's reappearance
Patrick L. Kelly, Steven Rodney, Tommaso Treu +27
The gravitationally lensed Supernova Refsdal appeared in multiple images, produced through gravitational lensing by a massive foreground galaxy cluster. After the supernova appeare…
Flashlights: More than A Dozen High-Significance Microlensing Events of Extremely Magnified Stars in Galaxies at Redshifts z=0.7-1.5
Patrick L. Kelly, Wenlei Chen, Amruth Alfred +23
Once only accessible in nearby galaxies, we can now study individual stars across much of the observable universe aided by galaxy-cluster gravitational lenses. When a star, compact…
Flashlights: An Off-Caustic Lensed Star at Redshift = 1.26 in Abell 370
Ashish Kumar Meena, Wenlei Chen, Adi Zitrin +10
We report the discovery of a transient seen in a strongly lensed arc at redshift in \emph{Hubble Space Telescope} imaging of the Abell 370 galaxy cluster. The tr…
Intergalactic magnetic field spectra from diffuse gamma rays
Wenlei Chen, Borun D. Chowdhury, Francesc Ferrer +2
Non-vanishing parity-odd correlators of gamma ray arrival directions observed by Fermi-LAT indicate the existence of a helical intergalactic magnetic field (Tashiro et al.2013). We…
Search for CP Violating Signature of Intergalactic Magnetic Helicity in the Gamma Ray Sky
Hiroyuki Tashiro, Wenlei Chen, Francesc Ferrer +1
The existence of a cosmological magnetic field could be revealed by the effects of non-trivial helicity on large scales. We evaluate a CP odd statistic, , using gamma ray data o…
