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…
Transient star B/R ratio and star formation in lensed galaxies
Sung Kei Li, Jose M. Palencia, Jose M. Diego +8
The extreme magnification from galaxy clusters and microlenses therein allows the detection of individual, luminous stars in lensed galaxies as transient events, and hence provides…
Microlensing at Cosmological Distances: Event Rate Predictions in the Warhol Arc of MACS 0416
J. M. Palencia, J. M. Diego, L. Dai +13
Highly magnified stars ( 100) are now outinely identified as transient events at cosmological distances thanks to microlensing by intra-cluster stars near the critical curve…
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…
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: 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…
