Space-quality data from balloon-borne telescopes: the High Altitude Lensing Observatory (HALO)
Jason Rhodes, Benjamin Dobke, Jeffrey Booth +36
We present a method for attaining sub-arcsecond pointing stability during sub- orbital balloon flights, as designed for in the High Altitude Lensing Observatory (HALO) concept. The…
Lossy compression of weak lensing data
R. Ali Vanderveld, Gary M. Bernstein, Chris Stoughton +4
Future orbiting observatories will survey large areas of sky in order to constrain the physics of dark matter and dark energy using weak gravitational lensing and other methods. Lo…
Astronomical Image Simulation for Telescope and Survey Development
Benjamin M. Dobke, David E. Johnston, Richard Massey +4
We present the 'simage' software suite for the simulation of artificial extragalactic images, based empirically around real observations of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF). The s…
Estimating cosmological parameters from future gravitational lens surveys
Benjamin M. Dobke, Lindsay J. King, Christopher D. Fassnacht +1
Upcoming ground and space based observatories such as the DES, the LSST, the JDEM concepts and the SKA, promise to dramatically increase the size of strong gravitational lens sampl…
Strong gravitational lensing probes of the particle nature of dark matter
Leonidas A. Moustakas, Kevork Abazajian, Andrew Benson +44
There is a vast menagerie of plausible candidates for the constituents of dark matter, both within and beyond extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Each of these ca…
The Hubble constant from galaxy lenses: impacts of triaxiality and model degeneracies
Virginia L. Corless, Benjamin M. Dobke, Lindsay J. King
The Hubble constant can be constrained using the time delays between multiple images of gravitationally lensed sources. In some notable cases, typical lensing analyses assuming iso…
Steepened inner density profiles of group galaxies via interactions: An N-body analysis
Benjamin M. Dobke, Lindsay J. King, Michael Fellhauer
We continue to see a range of values for the Hubble constant obtained from gravitationally lensed multiple image time delays when assuming an isothermal lens despite a robust value…
