Strong Lens Models for 37 Clusters of Galaxies from the SDSS Giant Arcs Survey

Keren Sharon, Matthew B. Bayliss, Håkon Dahle +12

We present strong gravitational lensing models for 37 galaxy clusters from the SDSS Giant Arcs Survey. We combine data from multi-band Hubble Space Telescope WFC3imaging, with grou…

Patterns of Gendered Performance Difference in Introductory STEM Courses

Benjamin P. Koester, Galina Grom, Timothy A. McKay

Grades provide students with their primary performance feedback: signals which affect academic choices. Variations in grading practice among courses impose grade penalties (and bon…

Source Plane Reconstruction of The Bright Lensed Galaxy RCSGA 032727-132609

Keren Sharon, Michael D. Gladders, Jane R. Rigby +4

We present new HST/WFC3 imaging data of RCSGA 032727-132609, a bright lensed galaxy at z=1.7 that is magnified and stretched by the lensing cluster RCS2 032727-132623. Using this n…

SGAS 143845.1+145407: A Big, Cool Starburst at Redshift 0.816

Michael D. Gladders, Jane R. Rigby, Keren Sharon +14

We present the discovery and a detailed multi-wavelength study of a strongly-lensed luminous infrared galaxy at z=0.816. Unlike most known lensed galaxies discovered at optical or…

Finding Fossil Groups: Optical Identification and X-ray Confirmation

Eric D. Miller, Eli Rykoff, Renato Dupke +6

We report the discovery of 12 new fossil groups of galaxies, systems dominated by a single giant elliptical galaxy and cluster-scale gravitational potential, but lacking the popula…

Combined strong and weak lensing analysis of 28 clusters from the Sloan Giant Arcs Survey

Masamune Oguri, Matthew B. Bayliss, Haakon Dahle +5

We study the mass distribution of a sample of 28 galaxy clusters using strong and weak lensing observations. The clusters are selected via their strong lensing properties as part o…
