A New Window of Exploration in the Mass Spectrum: Strong Lensing by Galaxy Groups in the SL2S
M. Limousin, R. Cabanac, R. Gavazzi +21
The existence of strong lensing systems with Einstein radii (Re) covering the full mass spectrum, from ~1-2" (produced by galaxy scale dark matter haloes) to >10" (produced by gala…
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…
The Sloan Lens ACS Survey. VIII. The relation between environment and internal structure of early-type galaxies
T. Treu, R. Gavazzi, A. Gorecki +5
We study the relation between the internal structure of early-type galaxies and their environment using 70 strong gravitational lenses from the Sloan ACS Lens Survey. The Sloan dat…
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,…
