COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses III. Redshift of the lensing galaxy in eight gravitationally lensed quasars
A. Eigenbrod, F. Courbin, G. Meylan +3
Aims: We measure the redshift of the lensing galaxy in eight gravitationally lensed quasars in view of determining the Hubble parameter H_0 from the time delay method. Methods: Dee…
COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses II. SDSS J0924+0219: the redshift of the lensing galaxy, the quasar spectral variability and the Einstein rings
A. Eigenbrod, F. Courbin, S. Dye +6
(Abridged) We present our VLT/FORS1 deep spectroscopic observations of the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J0924+0219, as well as archival HST/NICMOS and ACS images of the same…
GRB 050509b: the elusive optical/nIR/mm afterglow of a short-duration GRB
A. J. Castro-Tirado, A. de Ugarte Postigo, J. Gorosabel +17
We present multiwavelength (optical/near infrared/millimetre) observations of a short duration gamma-ray burst detected by Swift (GRB 050509b) collected between 0 seconds and ~18.8…
COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses I. How to sample the light curves of gravitationally lensed quasars to measure accurate time delays
A. Eigenbrod, F. Courbin, C. Vuissoz +3
We use numerical simulations to test a broad range of plausible observational strategies designed to measure the time delay between the images of gravitationally lensed quasars. Ar…
