Strong Lensing Tomography: Double and pseudo multi-source plane strong gravitational lensing to constrain dark energy
Paras Sharma, Simon Birrer, Narayan Khadka +12
Tomographic measurements of gravitational lensing with different lens and source redshift distributions contain crucial information about the universe's relative expansion rate, an…
SLSim: a strong lensing population simulation package
Narayan Khadka, Simon Birrer, Henry Best +45
Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into cosmology by bending light around massive objects. Strong gravitational lensing, in particular, produces magnified and often multi…
The impact of ultraviolet suppression on the rates and properties of strongly lensed Type IIn supernovae detected by LSST
Andrés I. Ponte Pérez, Graham P. Smith, Matt Nicholl +4
Upcoming wide-field time-domain surveys, such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) are expected to discover up to two orders of magnitude more…
A follow-up strategy enabling discovery of electromagnetic counterparts to highly-magnified gravitationally-lensed gravitational waves
Dan Ryczanowski, Jeff Cooke, James Freeburn +6
Making an unambiguous detection of lensed gravitational waves is challenging with current generation detectors due to large uncertainties in sky localisations and other inferred pa…
Strong gravitational lenses from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Anowar J. Shajib, Graham P. Smith, Simon Birrer +6
Like many areas of astrophysics and cosmology, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will be transformational for almost all the applications of strong lensing, thanks to the dramatic incr…
Challenges and Opportunities for time-delay cosmography with multi-messenger gravitational lensing
Simon Birrer, Graham P. Smith, Anowar J. Shajib +2
Strong gravitational lensing of variable sources, such as quasars or supernovae, can be used to constrain cosmological parameters through a technique known as "time-delay cosmograp…
