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…
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…
CURLING -- III. Identifying Candidates of Wide-separation Gravitationally Lensed Quasars from the CatNorth Catalogue
Di Wu, Zizhao He, Nan Li +5
Wide-separation lensed quasars (WSLQs) are a rare subclass of strongly lensed quasars produced by massive galaxy clusters. They provide valuable probes of dark-matter halos and qua…
Confirming lensed-quasar candidates with DESI and P200 spectroscopy I. 14 lensed quasars and 8 lensed galaxies
Zizhao He, Qihang Chen, Xiaosheng Huang +3
Lensed quasars are powerful probes of cosmology, the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies, and the distribution of dark matter. We cross-match 1,724 pre…
