Near-IR Search for Lensed Supernovae Behind Galaxy Clusters - II. First Detection and Future Prospects
A. Goobar, K. Paech, V. Stanishev +11
Powerful gravitational telescopes in the form of massive galaxy clusters can be used to enhance the light collecting power over a limited field of view by about an order of magnitu…
Strong Lensing in Abell 1703: Constraints on the Slope of the Inner Dark Matter Distribution
M. Limousin, J. Richard, J. -P. Kneib +9
In this article, we apply strong lensing techniques in Abell 1703, a massive X-ray luminous galaxy cluster at z=0.28. Our analysis is based on imaging data both from space and grou…
Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of Lensed Galaxies at 1<z<3: The Nature of Sources Near the MIPS Confusion Limit
J. R. Rigby, D. Marcillac, E. Egami +10
We present Spitzer/IRS mid-infrared spectra for 15 gravitationally lensed, 24 micron--selected galaxies, and combine the results with 4 additional very faint galaxies with IRS spec…
Looking for z>7 galaxies with the Gravitational Telescope
R. Pello, J. Richard, D. Schaerer +3
We summarize the main results obtained recently by our group on the identification and study of very high-z galaxies (z>7) using lensing clusters as natural gravitational telescope…
ISAAC/VLT observations of a lensed galaxy at z=10.0
R. Pello, D. Schaerer, J. Richard +2
We report the first likely spectroscopic confirmation of a z 10.0 galaxy from our ongoing search for distant galaxies with ISAAC/VLT. Galaxy candidates at z >~ 7 are selected from…
Searches for high redshift galaxies using gravitational lensing
J. Richard, R. Pello, J. -P. Kneib +3
We present different methods used to identify high redshift (z>5) objects in the high-magnification regions of lensing galaxy clusters, taking advantage of very well constrained le…
