Identification of gravitational lenses obscured by foreground light in the KiDS dataset using U-Nets and ResNets

S. Liu, Rui Li, J. Jia +13

*Context.* Many lensing images are often obscured by foreground light from the central galaxies, making them challenging to detect. *Aims.* To address the limitations of previous l…

Galaxy-LRD Strong Lenses: A Missing Population?

Zizhao He, Nan Li, Simon Dye +2

The physical nature of Little Red Dots (LRDs) remains uncertain, although these abundant, compact, and red sources may offer important insights into early black-hole growth and gal…

Search for Quasar Pairs with Astrometric Data. III. Discovery of 9 dual and projected quasars

Qihang Chen, Zizhao He, Zhuojun Deng +3

We report the low-resolution long-slit spectroscopic observations and confirmations of 11 quasar pair candidates, which are selected from the MGQPC catalog presented in the first p…

Discovery of a Strong-lens Galaxy Pair with the Smallest Projected Separation

Zizhao He, Limeng Deng, Qihang Chen +3

We present the spectroscopic confirmation and lens modeling of HSC~J02330205, a strong-lensing system produced by a close pair of elliptical galaxies at that…

Group Pre-processing in J1611+4026: Minor Rejuvenation of a Massive ETG fueled by Interaction-driven Gas Transfer

Yaosong Yu, Qihang Chen, Zizhao He +3

Interactions within galaxy groups are fundamental drivers of galactic evolution, and establishing a direct observational link between the dynamical processes of satellite galaxies…

New Dynamical Measurements from a Lensed Quasar Sample: Joint Analysis Constrains the Mass Profile Evolution of Lens Galaxies

Ziyu Guo, Yun Chen, Yiping Shu +4

We present a systematic study of the internal mass structure of early-type galaxies (ETGs) based on 106 galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses with background quasars, all having…

Flux-ratio anomalies in cusp quasars reveal dark matter beyond CDM

Siyuan Hou, Shucheng Xiang, Yue-Lin Sming Tsai +7

Strongly lensed quasars in cusp configurations provide a uniquely sensitive probe of small-scale dark matter structure. Using the largest microlensing-free flux ratios for 17 quadr…

Searching for Galaxy Cluster-Scale Strong lenses from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys

Zhejian Zhang, Nan Li, Shude Mao +4

Galaxy cluster-scale strong gravitational lensing systems are rare yet valuable tools for investigating the properties of dark matter and dark energy, as well as providing the oppo…
