Supernova 2025wny: High-angular resolution Keck/NIRC2 observations and preliminary lens modeling

Christopher J. Storfer, Kenneth C. Wong, Ana Acebron +10

Multiply imaged, gravitationally lensed supernovae are rare but powerful tools for providing independent measurements on cosmological parameters. Supernova (SN) 2025wny ("SN Winny"…

SN 2025adpq: A Type Ia supernova in a collisional ring formed during a major galaxy merger

Brendan O'Connor, Xander J. Hall, Tomas Cabrera +16

Galaxy mergers can both trigger star formation and rearrange where stars live, producing long-lived tidal structures and collisionally driven density waves (known as collisional ri…

The Carousel Lens I: A Spectroscopic Survey of the Carousel Lens Field

Jackson H. O'Donnell, Demetrius Y. Williams, Tesla E. Jeltema +18

We present a spectroscopic survey of field galaxies and lensed sources in the vicinity of the strong lensing galaxy cluster known as the Carousel lens at z=0.49. Using both Gemini/…

The DESI Single Fiber Lens Search. I. Four Thousand Spectroscopically Selected Galaxy-Galaxy Gravitational Lens Candidates

Juliana S. M. Karp, David J. Schlegel, Xiaosheng Huang +47

We present 4,110 strong gravitational lens candidates, 3,887 of which are new discoveries, selected from a sample of 5,837,154 luminous red galaxies (LRGs) observed with the Dark E…

A New Way to Discover Strong Gravitational Lenses: Pair-wise Spectroscopic Search from DESI DR1

Yuan-Ming Hsu, Xiaosheng Huang, Christopher J. Storfer +47

We present a new method to search for strong gravitational lensing systems by pairing spectra that are close together on the sky in a spectroscopic survey. We visually inspect 26,6…

Confirming lensed-quasar candidates with DESI and P200 spectroscopy I. 14 lensed quasars and 8 lensed galaxies

Zizhao He, Qihang Chen, Xiaosheng Huang +3

Lensed quasars are powerful probes of cosmology, the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies, and the distribution of dark matter. We cross-match 1,724 pre…
