GIGA-Lens 2.0: Strong-Lens Modeling on Multiple GPU Nodes
Xiaosheng Huang, Linus Upson, Nicolas Ratier-Werbin +12
We present GIGA-Lens 2.0: a major upgrade to the GPU-accelerated Bayesian framework for modeling strong lensing systems that allows it to be run across multiple GPU nodes. We have…
The Carousel Lens II: Cosmological Constraints with GIGA-Lens
Felipe Urcelay, Xiaosheng Huang, William Sheu +28
The nature of dark matter and dark energy are among the central questions in cosmology. Strong gravitational lenses with multiple source planes provide a geometric probe of cosmolo…
A Novel Lensed Point Source Modeling Pipeline using GIGA-Lens with Application to SN Zwicky and SN iPTF16geu
Saul Baltasar, Nicolas Ratier-Werbin, Xiaosheng Huang +5
We introduce a novel modeling pipeline for strongly lensed point sources, using the GIGA-Lens framework, running on four A100 GPUs via the JAX platform. Using simulations, we demon…
DESI Strong Lens Foundry V: A Sample of HST-Observed Strong Lenses Modeled with GIGA-Lens
Xiaosheng Huang, David Alvarez-Garcia, Monica Ubeda +13
We present six galaxy-scale strong lenses with HST imaging modeled using GIGA-Lens. This is Paper V of the DESI Strong Lens Foundry series. These systems were discovered in the DES…
