TDCOSMO XXVI: Uniform lens modeling of eight doubly imaged quasars
Ryan Brady, Xiang-Yu Huang, Simon Birrer +7
We present the first uniform gravitational lens modeling analysis of eight doubly imaged quasars from multi-band observations with the Hubble Space Telescope. Previous time-delay c…
TDCOSMO. XXIII. Measurement of the Hubble constant from the doubly lensed quasar HE1104-1805
Eric Paic, Frédéric Courbin, Christopher D. Fassnacht +18
Time-delay cosmography leverages strongly lensed quasars to measure the Universe's current expansion rate, H_0, independently from other methods. While the latest TDCOSMO results r…
A halo model approach for mock catalogs of time-variable strong gravitational lenses
Katsuya T. Abe, Masamune Oguri, Simon Birrer +5
Time delays in both galaxy- and cluster-scale strong gravitational lenses have recently attracted a lot of attention in the context of the Hubble tension. Future wide-field cadence…
The DELVE Quadruple Quasar Search I. A Lensed Low Luminosity AGN
Paul L. Schechter, Dominique Sluse, Erik A. Zaborowski +25
A quadruply lensed source, J125856.3-031944, has been discovered using the DELVE survey and WISE W1 - W2 colors. Followup direct imaging carried out with the Magellan Baade 6.5 m t…
TDCOSMO XVII. New time delays in 22 lensed quasars from optical monitoring with the ESO-VST 2.6m and MPG 2.2m telescopes
Frédéric Dux, Martin Millon, Aymeric Galan +29
We present new time delays, the main ingredient of time delay cosmography, for 22 lensed quasars resulting from high-cadence r-band monitoring on the 2.6 m ESO VLT Survey Telescope…
