Strong gravitational lensing probes of the particle nature of dark matter
Leonidas A. Moustakas, Kevork Abazajian, Andrew Benson +44
There is a vast menagerie of plausible candidates for the constituents of dark matter, both within and beyond extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Each of these ca…
Orientations of very faint galaxies in the Coma cluster
C. Adami, R. Gavazzi, J. C. Cuillandre +5
We have then searched for preferential orientations of faint galaxies in the Coma cluster (down I_Vega~-11.5). By applying a deconvolution method to deep u* and I band images of th…
Numerical investigation of lenses with substructures using the perturbative method
Sébastien Peirani, Christophe Alard, Christophe Pichon +2
We present a statistical study of the effects induced by substructures on the deflection potential of dark matter halos in the strong lensing regime. This investigation is based on…
Late-time observations of SN2006gy: Still Going Strong
Nathan Smith, Ryan J. Foley, Joshua S. Bloom +9
Owing to its extremely high luminosity and long duration, SN2006gy radiated more energy in visual light than any other known SN. Two hypotheses to explain its high luminosity -- th…
The Sloan Lens ACS Survey. VI: Discovery and analysis of a double Einstein ring
Raphael Gavazzi, Tommaso Treu, Leon V. E. Koopmans +4
We report the discovery of two concentric Einstein rings around the gravitational lens SDSSJ0946+1006, as part of the Sloan Lens ACS Survey. The main lens is at redshift zl=0.222,…
Super-resolving distant galaxies with gravitational telescopes: Keck-LGSAO and Hubble imaging of the lens system SDSSJ0737+3216
P. J. Marshall, T. Treu, J. Melbourne +13
We combine high-resolution images in four optical/infra-red bands, obtained with the laser guide star adaptive optics system on the Keck Telescope and with the Hubble Space Telesco…
