XShooter DESI Lens Program: Sample characterization
Eric Jullo, Christophe Boghossian, Luderic Chapel +6
Large imaging surveys in cosmology are detecting orders of magnitude more lens systems than known so far. This unprecedented dataset will lead to robust constraints on cosmology an…
The Carousel Lens II: Cosmological Constraints with GIGA-Lens
Felipe Urcelay, Xiaosheng Huang, William Sheu +28
The nature of dark matter and dark energy are among the central questions in cosmology. Strong gravitational lenses with multiple source planes provide a geometric probe of cosmolo…
A Novel Lensed Point Source Modeling Pipeline using GIGA-Lens with Application to SN Zwicky and SN iPTF16geu
Saul Baltasar, Nicolas Ratier-Werbin, Xiaosheng Huang +5
We introduce a novel modeling pipeline for strongly lensed point sources, using the GIGA-Lens framework, running on four A100 GPUs via the JAX platform. Using simulations, we demon…
DESI Strong Lens Foundry V: A Sample of HST-Observed Strong Lenses Modeled with GIGA-Lens
Xiaosheng Huang, David Alvarez-Garcia, Monica Ubeda +13
We present six galaxy-scale strong lenses with HST imaging modeled using GIGA-Lens. This is Paper V of the DESI Strong Lens Foundry series. These systems were discovered in the DES…
HOLISMOKES XIX: SN 2025wny at , the first strongly lensed superluminous supernova
Stefan Taubenberger, Ana Acebron, Raoul Cañameras +45
We present imaging and spectroscopic observations of supernova SN 2025wny, associated with the lens candidate PS1 J0716+3821. Photometric monitoring from the Lulin and Maidanak obs…
DESI Strong Lens Foundry II: DESI Spectroscopy for Strong Lens Candidates
Xiaosheng Huang, Jose Carlos Inchausti, Christopher J. Storfer +59
We present the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Strong Lensing Secondary Target Program. This is a spectroscopic follow-up program for strong gravitational lens candidat…
DESI Strong Lens Foundry III: Keck Spectroscopy for Strong Lenses Discovered Using Residual Neural Networks
Shrihan Agarwal, Xiaosheng Huang, William Sheu +49
