Analysis of luminosity distributions and shape parameters of strong gravitational lensing elliptical galaxies

J. Biernaux, P. Magain, D. Sluse +1

Luminosity profiles of galaxies acting as strong gravitational lenses can be tricky to study. Indeed, strong gravitational lensing images display several lensed components, both po…

Gravitational lensing evidence against extended dark matter halos

Pierre Magain, Virginie Chantry

It is generally thought that galaxies are embedded in dark matter halos extending well beyond their luminous matter. The existence of these galactic halos is mainly derived from th…

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses X. Modeling based on high-precision astrometry of a sample of 25 lensed quasars: consequences for ellipticity, shear, and astrometric anomalies

D. Sluse, V. Chantry, P. Magain +2

(abridged) Gravitationally lensed quasars can be used as powerful cosmological and astrophysical probes. We can (i) infer the Hubble constant based on the time-delay technique, (ii…

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses VIII. Deconvolution of high resolution near-IR images and simple mass models for 7 gravitationally lensed quasars

Virginie Chantry, Dominique Sluse, Pierre Magain

We apply the iterative MCS deconvolution method (ISMCS) to near-IR HST archives data of seven gravitationally lensed quasars currently monitored by the COSMOGRAIL collaboration: HE…

The QSO HE0450-2958: Scantily dressed or heavily robed? A normal quasar as part of an unusual ULIRG

Knud Jahnke, David Elbaz, Eric Pantin +5

(Abridged) The luminous z=0.286 quasar HE0450-2958 is interacting with a companion galaxy at 6.5 kpc distance and the whole system is a ULIRG. A so far undetected host galaxy trigg…

Multi-wavelength observations of afterglow of GRB 080319B and the modeling constraints

S. B. Pandey, A. J. Castro-Tirado, M. Jelínek +24

We present observations of the afterglow of GRB 080319B at optical, mm and radio frequencies from a few hours to 67 days after the burst. Present observations along with other publ…
