SN 2022riv in RX J2129: Discovery, Spectroscopic Classification, and Microlensing of a Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernova from JWST and HST Observations

Birendra Dhanasingham, Patrick L. Kelly, Wenlei Chen +27

The multiply imaged SN 2022riv was discovered through a search of galaxy cluster fields as part of a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) SNAP program to find highly magnified stars. The s…

Dents in the Mirror: A Novel Probe of Dark Matter Substructure in Galaxy Clusters from the Astrometric Asymmetry of Lensed Arcs

Derek Perera, Daniel Gilman, Liliya L. R. Williams +5

Astrometric perturbations of lensed arcs behind galaxy clusters have been recently suggested as promising probes of small-scale () dark matter substructure.…

Lensed stars in galaxy-galaxy strong lensing -- a JWST prediction for the Cosmic Horseshoe

Sung Kei Li, Luke Weisenbach, Thomas E. Collett +10

We explore for the first time the possibility of detecting lensed star transients in galaxy-galaxy strong lensing systems upon repeated, deep imaging using the {\it James-Webb Spac…

Transient star B/R ratio and star formation in lensed galaxies

Sung Kei Li, Jose M. Palencia, Jose M. Diego +8

The extreme magnification from galaxy clusters and microlenses therein allows the detection of individual, luminous stars in lensed galaxies as transient events, and hence provides…

A Fuzzy Situation Eased: Cold Dark Matter with Multipoles Can Explain The Double Radio Quad Lens HS 0810+2554

John H. Miller, Liliya L. R. Williams

Originally observed in isophotal density contours of elliptical galaxies, higher order perturbations in the form of Fourier modes, or multipoles, are becoming increasingly recogniz…

Strong Lensing by Galaxy Clusters

Priyamvada Natarajan, Liliya L. Williams, Marusa Bradac +4

Galaxy clusters as gravitational lenses play a unique role in astrophysics and cosmology: they permit mapping the dark matter distribution on a range of scales; they reveal the pro…

Constraints on the Inner Regions of Lensing Galaxies from Central Images using a Recent AGN Offset Distribution

Derek Perera, Liliya L. R. Williams, Claudia Scarlata

In gravitational lensing, central images in quads can serve as a powerful probe of the inner regions of lens galaxies. The presence of an offset central supermassive black hole (SM…
