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…

VENUS: Two Faint Little Red Dots Separated by Hidden in a Single Lensed Galaxy at

Hiroto Yanagisawa, Masami Ouchi, Miriam Golubchik +47

We report the identification of a pair of faint little red dots (LRDs), dubbed Red Eyes, in a strongly-lensed galaxy at behind the PLCKG004.5-10.5 cluster, identified from…

Little red dot variability over a century reveals black hole envelope via a giant Einstein cross

Zijian Zhang, Mingyu Li, Masamune Oguri +79

"Little red dots" (LRDs) represent a new population of astronomical objects uncovered by JWST whose nature remains debated. Although many LRDs are suspected as active galactic nucl…

VENUS: When Red meets Blue -- A multiply imaged Little Red Dot with an apparent blue companion behind the galaxy cluster Abell 383

Miriam Golubchik, Lukas J. Furtak, Joseph F. V. Allingham +50

We report the discovery of a doubly-imaged Little Red Dot (LRD) candidate behind the galaxy cluster Abell 383, which we dub A383-LRD1. Initially classified as a dropout galaxy in H…

SLICE: SPT-CL J0546-5345 -- A prominent strong-lensing cluster at

Joseph F. V. Allingham, Adi Zitrin, Miriam Golubchik +15

Massive galaxy clusters act as prominent strong-lenses. Due to a combination of observational biases, cluster evolution and lensing efficiency, most of the known cluster lenses lie…
