Narrowing down the Hubble constant value by exploiting the extended surface brightness of the supernova Refsdal host galaxy
S. Schuldt, C. Grillo, S. H. Suyu +7
We present the first inference of the Hubble constant and matter density parameter from a strongly lensed supernova by exploiting the mass model of a galaxy cluster enhanced by an…
A boost in the precision of cluster-mass models: Exploiting the extended surface brightness of the lensed supernova Refsdal host galaxy
S. Schuldt, C. Grillo, A. Acebron +4
Combining deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images and extensive data from the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer, we present new mass models of the cluster MACS J1149.5+2223, stron…
Cosmology with supernova Encore in the strong lensing cluster MACS J0138-2155: Time delays & Hubble constant measurement
J. D. R. Pierel, E. E. Hayes, M. Millon +26
Multiply-imaged supernovae (SNe) provide a novel means of constraining the Hubble constant (). Such measurements require a combination of precise models of the lensing mass di…
Cosmology with supernova Encore in the strong lensing cluster MACS J0138-2155: Lens model comparison and H0 measurement
S. H. Suyu, A. Acebron, C. Grillo +28
MACS J0138-2155 is the only known cluster to strongly lens two supernovae (SNe), Requiem and Encore, from the same host galaxy at z=1.949. We present seven independent mass models…
J1721+8842: The first Einstein zig-zag lens
F. Dux, M. Millon, C. Lemon +16
We report the discovery of the first example of an Einstein zig-zag lens, an extremely rare lensing configuration. In this system, J1721+8842, six images of the same background qua…
Improved model of the Supernova Refsdal cluster MACS J1149.5+2223 thanks to VLT/MUSE
S. Schuldt, C. Grillo, G. B. Caminha +9
We present new VLT/MUSE observations of the Hubble Frontier Field (HFF) galaxy cluster MACS J1149.5+2223, lensing the well-known supernova "Refsdal" into multiple images, which ena…
Augmenting the power of time-delay cosmography in lens galaxy clusters by probing their member galaxies. II. Cosmic chronometers
P. Bergamini, S. Schuldt, A. Acebron +9
We present a novel approach to measuring the expansion rate and the geometry of the Universe, which combine time-delay cosmography in lens galaxy clusters with pure samples of 'cos…
Augmenting the power of time-delay cosmography in lens galaxy clusters by probing their member galaxies I. Type Ia supernovae
A. Acebron, S. Schuldt, C. Grillo +9
We present a simple and promising new method to measure the expansion rate and the geometry of the universe that combines observations related to the time delays between the multip…
LensWatch: I. Resolved HST Observations and Constraints on the Strongly-Lensed Type Ia Supernova 2022qmx ("SN Zwicky")
J. D. R. Pierel, N. Arendse, S. Ertl +39
Supernovae (SNe) that have been multiply-imaged by gravitational lensing are rare and powerful probes for cosmology. Each detection is an opportunity to develop the critical tools…
TDCOSMO X. Automated Modeling of 9 Strongly Lensed Quasars and Comparison Between Lens Modeling Software
