A Salpeter IMF and an NFW halo: Disentangling the dark and stellar mass of an elliptical galaxy through precise lens modelling of a double-source-plane system
Tian Li, Thomas E. Collett, Coleman M. Krawczyk +7
We present a strong lensing analysis of the double source plane lens J0946+1006 (colloquially "Jackpot" lens) to measure the inner dark matter density profile, the stellar-to-halo…
An archival search for gamma-ray bursts gravitationally lensed by galaxy clusters
Dan Ryczanowski, Benjamin P. Jones, Benjamin P. Gompertz +1
Discoveries of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have become commonplace in recent decades, totalling unique detections across various missions. However, there have been…
The impact of ultraviolet suppression on the rates and properties of strongly lensed Type IIn supernovae detected by LSST
Andrés I. Ponte Pérez, Graham P. Smith, Matt Nicholl +4
Upcoming wide-field time-domain surveys, such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) are expected to discover up to two orders of magnitude more…
A follow-up strategy enabling discovery of electromagnetic counterparts to highly-magnified gravitationally-lensed gravitational waves
Dan Ryczanowski, Jeff Cooke, James Freeburn +6
Making an unambiguous detection of lensed gravitational waves is challenging with current generation detectors due to large uncertainties in sky localisations and other inferred pa…
Multi-messenger Gravitational Lensing
Graham P. Smith, Tessa Baker, Simon Birrer +38
We introduce the rapidly emerging field of multi-messenger gravitational lensing - the discovery and science of gravitationally lensed phenomena in the distant universe through the…
The La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey
Adam A. Miller, Natasha S. Abrams, Greg Aldering +75
We present the La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey (LS4), a new wide-field, time-domain survey to be conducted with the 1 m ESO Schmidt telescope. The 268 megapixel LS4 camera mosaics…
