SN Helios: A Multiply Imaged Type II Supernova Opening Time-Delay Cosmography beyond redshift of 3

Seiji Fujimoto, Conor Larison, Justin D. R. Pierel +64

We report the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of SN Helios, a strongly lensed, multiply imaged Type II supernova (SN) at behind the galaxy cluster RXC J0018.5+162…

SLSim: a strong lensing population simulation package

Narayan Khadka, Simon Birrer, Henry Best +45

Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into cosmology by bending light around massive objects. Strong gravitational lensing, in particular, produces magnified and often multi…

JWST's PEARLS: A clumpy ring galaxy at

David Vizgan, Ming-Yang Zhuang, Ian Smail +22

Ring galaxies are an uncommon class of galaxies whose morphology is closely related to dynamical processes that govern galaxy evolution. Some ring galaxies, known as "collisional r…

A spectroscopically confirmed, strongly lensed, metal-poor Type II supernova at z = 5.13

David A. Coulter, Conor Larison, Justin D. R. Pierel +88

Observing supernovae (SNe) in the early Universe (z > 3) provides a window into how both galaxies and individual stars have evolved over cosmic time, yet a detailed study of high-r…

Testing Lens Models of PLCK G165.7+67.0 Using Lensed SN H0pe

Aadya Agrawal, J. D. R. Pierel, Gautham Narayan +9

Supernova H0pe is a multiply-imaged Type Ia supernova (SN~Ia) and the second lensed SN to yield a measurement of the Hubble constant by the time-delay cosmography method, finding $…

Cosmology with supernova Encore in the strong lensing cluster MACS J0138-2155: Time delays & Hubble constant measurement

J. D. R. Pierel, E. E. Hayes, M. Millon +26

Multiply-imaged supernovae (SNe) provide a novel means of constraining the Hubble constant (). Such measurements require a combination of precise models of the lensing mass di…

Testing for Intrinsic Type Ia Supernova Luminosity Evolution at z>2 with JWST

J. D. R. Pierel, D. A. Coulter, M. R. Siebert +38

The James Webb Space Telescope} (JWST) is opening new frontiers of transient discovery and follow-up at high-redshift. Here we present the discovery of a spectroscopically confirme…

LensWatch. II. Improved Photometry and Time-delay Constraints on the Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernova 2022qmx ("SN Zwicky") with HST Template Observations

Conor Larison, Justin D. R. Pierel, Max J. B. Newman +34

Strongly lensed supernovae (SNe) are a rare class of transient that can offer tight cosmological constraints that are complementary to methods from other astronomical events. We pr…

Lensed Type Ia Supernova "Encore" at z=2: The First Instance of Two Multiply-Imaged Supernovae in the Same Host Galaxy

J. D. R. Pierel, A. B. Newman, S. Dhawan +60

A bright (=24 mag), supernova (SN) candidate was discovered in JWST/NIRCam imaging acquired on 2023 November 17. The SN is quintuply-imaged as a result o…
