Multiple Images of a Highly Magnified Supernova Formed by an Early-Type Cluster Galaxy Lens
Patrick L. Kelly, Steven A. Rodney, Tommaso Treu +28
In 1964, Refsdal hypothesized that a supernova whose light traversed multiple paths around a strong gravitational lens could be used to measure the rate of cosmic expansion. We rep…
Extensive light profile fitting of galaxy-scale strong lenses
Florence Brault, Raphael Gavazzi
We investigate the merits of a massive forward modeling of ground-based optical imaging as a diagnostic for the strong lensing nature of Early-Type Galaxies, in the light of which…
The Sloan Lens ACS Survey. XII. Extending Strong Lensing to Lower Masses
Yiping Shu, Adam S. Bolton, Joel R. Brownstein +8
We present observational results from a new Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Snapshot program to extend the methods of the Sloan Lens ACS (SLACS) Survey to lower lens-galaxy masses. We…
Intrinsic alignment of simulated galaxies in the cosmic web: implications for weak lensing surveys
Sandrine Codis, Raphael Gavazzi, Yohan Dubois +6
The intrinsic alignment of galaxy shapes (by means of their angular momentum) and their cross-correlation with the surrounding dark matter tidal field are investigated using the 16…
HerMES: The Rest-Frame UV Emission and A Lensing Model for the z=6.34 Luminous Dusty Starburst Galaxy HFLS3
Asantha Cooray, Jae Calanog, Julie L. Wardlow +23
We discuss the restframe UV emission from the starbursting galaxy HFLS3 at z=6.34, discovered in Herschel/SPIRE data due to its red color in the submm wavelengths from 250-500 um.…
The mass profile and dynamical status of the z~0.8 galaxy cluster LCDCS 0504
L. Guennou, A. Biviano, C. Adami +34
Constraints on the mass distribution in high-redshift clusters of galaxies are not currently very strong. We aim to constrain the mass profile, M(r), and dynamical status of the $z…
