(Monty Python and the) HoliGRALE: A Hybrid GRALE Lens Inversion Methodology Diagnostically Evaluated with Synthetic and Real Data

Derek Perera, Jori Liesenborgs, John H. Miller +4

We present HoliGRALE (Hybrid, only light included, GRAvitational LEnsing), a hybrid lens modeling extension of the freeform method GRALE. HoliGRALE incorporates physically motivate…

The Sensitivity of Substructure Lensing to SIDM Core-collapse Model Variation

Charlie Mace, Birendra Dhanasingham, Zhichao Carton Zeng +4

Strong gravitational lensing has emerged as a powerful probe of dark matter substructure, and shows particularly strong promise as a test of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM). Th…

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…

Neural posterior estimation of the line-of-sight and subhalo populations in galaxy-scale strong lensing systems

Birendra Dhanasingham, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Daniel Gilman

Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful probe for studying the fundamental properties of dark matter on sub-galactic scales. Detailed analyses of galaxy-scale lenses have reveal…

JWST's PEARLS: A Candidate Massive Binary Star System in a Lensed Galaxy at Redshift 0.94

Hayley Williams, Patrick L. Kelly, Emmanouil Zapartas +18

Massive stars at cosmological distances can be individually detected during transient microlensing events, when gravitational lensing magnifications may exceed ~1000. Nine such sou…

Anisotropic strong lensing as a probe of dark matter self-interactions

Birendra Dhanasingham, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Charlie Mace +2

Galaxy-scale strongly lensed systems have been shown to provide a unique technique for exploring the underlying physics of dark matter at sub-galactic scales. In the past, much att…

The impact of human expert visual inspection on the discovery of strong gravitational lenses

Karina Rojas, Thomas E. Collett, Daniel Ballard +53

We investigate the ability of human 'expert' classifiers to identify strong gravitational lens candidates in Dark Energy Survey like imaging. We recruited a total of 55 people that…

Snowmass2021: Vera C. Rubin Observatory as a Flagship Dark Matter Experiment

Yao-Yuan Mao, Annika H. G. Peter, Susmita Adhikari +30

Establishing that Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a flagship dark matter experiment is an essential pathway toward understanding the physical nature of dark matter. In the past two de…

Interlopers speak out: studying the dark universe using small-scale lensing anisotropies

Birendra Dhanasingham, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Annika H. G. Peter +2

Strongly lensed systems are powerful probes of the distribution of dark matter on small scales. In this paper, we show that line-of-sight haloes between the source and the observer…
