VENUS: Strong-lensing model of MACS J1931.8-2635 -- revealing the farthest multiply imaged supernova
Joseph F. V. Allingham, Adi Zitrin, Vasily Kokorev +42
We present a parametric strong-lensing model for the galaxy cluster MACS J1931.8-2635 (), accompanying the detection of the spectroscopically confirmed SN Eos at $z = 5…
Predisposition of galaxy clusters to producing exotic hyperbolic umbilic lensing configurations
Quentin Basto, Johan Richard, David J. Lagattuta +2
Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for investigating the universe's large-scale structure and understanding the properties of dark matter and dark energy. The magnific…
Other red dots: A possible GLIMPSE of normal AGB stars at Cosmic Noon through extreme lensing
Lukas J. Furtak, Adi Zitrin, Erik Zackrisson +18
We report the discovery of four extremely faint () red point sources in recent ultra-deep JWST/NIRCam images of the strong lensing galaxy cluster Abell…
Beyond collective fluctuations: probing micro-image swarms in lensed quasars with intensity interferometry
Ashish Kumar Meena, Prasenjit Saha
Each strongly lensed image of a quasar behind a lensing galaxy (or galaxy cluster) is composed of a swarm of micro-images. This is a result of microlensing due to stellar-scale sub…
First Statistical Study of Over 100 Magnified Stellar Events at Redshift with JWST
J. M. Palencia, Fengwu Sun, J. M. Diego +25
Highly magnified stars at cosmological distances () become detectable thanks to microlensing by intracluster stars near the critical curves of galaxy clusters. Multi…
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…
