A seven square degrees survey for galaxy-scale gravitational lenses with the HST imaging archive
R. S. Pawase, C. Faure, F. Courbin +2
We present the results of a visual search for galaxy-scale gravitational lenses in nearly 7 square degrees of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images. The dataset comprises the whole i…
Galaxy scale lenses in the RCS2: I. First Catalog of Candidate Strong Lenses
T. Anguita, L. F. Barrientos, M. D. Gladders +3
We present the first galaxy scale lens catalog from the second Red-Sequence Cluster Survey. The catalog contains 60 lensing system candidates comprised of Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG)…
Three QSOs acting as strong gravitational lenses
F. Courbin, C. Faure, S. G. Djorgovski +8
We report the discovery of three new cases of QSOs acting as strong gravitational lenses on background emission line galaxies: SDSS J0827+5224 (zQSO = 0.293, zs = 0.412), SDSS J091…
VLT adaptive optics search for luminous substructures in the lens galaxy towards SDSS J0924+0219
C. Faure, D. Sluse, N. Cantale +4
Anomalous flux ratios between quasar images are suspected to be caused by substructures in lens galaxies. We present new deep and high resolution H and Ks imaging of the strongly l…
Galaxies in X-ray Groups I: Robust Membership Assignment and the Impact of Group Environments on Quenching
Matthew R. George, Alexie Leauthaud, Kevin Bundy +19
Understanding the mechanisms that lead dense environments to host galaxies with redder colors, more spheroidal morphologies, and lower star formation rates than field populations r…
On the evolution of environmental and mass properties of strong lens galaxies in COSMOS
C. Faure, T. Anguita, D. Alloin +11
Among the 100 strong lens candidates found in the COSMOS field, 20 with redshifts in the range [0.34,1.13], feature multiple images of background sources. Using the multi-wavelengt…
