Time Delay Lens Modelling Challenge

X. Ding, T. Treu, S. Birrer +26

In recent years, breakthroughs in methods and data have enabled gravitational time delays to emerge as a very powerful tool to measure the Hubble constant . However, published…

Crash testing difference-smoothing algorithm on a large sample of simulated light curves from TDC1

S. Rathna Kumar

In this work, we propose refinements to the difference-smoothing algorithm for measurement of time delay from the light curves of the images of a gravitationally lensed quasar. The…

Strong Lens Time Delay Challenge: II. Results of TDC1

Kai Liao, Tommaso Treu, Phil Marshall +23

We present the results of the first strong lens time delay challenge. The motivation, experimental design, and entry level challenge are described in a companion paper. This paper…

from ten well-measured time delay lenses

S. Rathna Kumar, C. S. Stalin, T. P. Prabhu

In this work, we present a homogeneous curve-shifting analysis using the difference-smoothing technique of the publicly available light curves of 24 gravitationally lensed quasars,…

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses XIV. Time delay of the doubly lensed quasar SDSS J1001+5027

S. Rathna Kumar, M. Tewes, C. S. Stalin +8

This paper presents optical R-band light curves and the time delay of the doubly imaged gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J1001+5027 at a redshift of 1.838. We have observed this…

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses XII. Time delays of the doubly lensed quasars SDSS J1206+4332 and HS 2209+1914

E. Eulaers, M. Tewes, P. Magain +8

Aims. Within the framework of the COSMOGRAIL collaboration we present 7- and 8.5-year-long light curves and time-delay estimates for two gravitationally lensed quasars: SDSS J1206+…
