HST imaging, pipeline modeling, and time-delay predictions of 2 triply-imaged and 15 quadruply-imaged lensed quasars
William Sheu, Tommaso Treu, Adriano Agnello +10
The Hubble-Lema\^ıtre tension remains a significant challenge in modern cosmology, exhibiting a discrepancy between early-Universe cosmic microwave background measurements and loca…
VAR-PZnn: A machine-learning framework for AGN photometric redshifts using color and variability-based features
S. Satheesh-Sheeba, P. Sánchez-Sáez, R. J. Assef +39
Photometric redshift estimation for active galactic nuclei (AGNs) remains a fundamental challenge for current and upcoming large-scale photometric surveys. Traditional spectral ene…
Investigating the Dark Energy Constraint from Strongly Lensed AGN at LSST-Scale
Sydney Erickson, Martin Millon, Padmavathi Venkatraman +12
The paper presents a scalable hierarchical inference framework to jointly analyze hundreds of strongly lensed AGN time delays from LSST, forecasting a ~2.5% measurement of H0 and a…
Constraining the Physical Properties of Quadruply Lensed Quasars using Optical-to-X-Ray Data
Kriti Kamal Gupta, Dominique Sluse, Maarten Baes +5
Gravitational lensing of luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN; or quasars) can be used as a natural telescope to zoom in on their inner structures. With more and more lensed AGN be…
Strong Lensing Tomography: Double and pseudo multi-source plane strong gravitational lensing to constrain dark energy
Paras Sharma, Simon Birrer, Narayan Khadka +12
Tomographic measurements of gravitational lensing with different lens and source redshift distributions contain crucial information about the universe's relative expansion rate, an…
JWST lensed quasar dark matter survey IV: Stringent warm dark matter constraints from the joint reconstruction of extended lensed arcs and quasar flux ratios
D. Gilman, A. M. Nierenberg, T. Treu +23
We present a measurement of the free-streaming length of dark matter (DM) and subhalo abundance around 28 quadruple image strong lenses using observations from JWST MIRI presented…
