Growing a `Cosmic Beast': Observations and Simulations of MACS J0717.5+3745
M. Jauzac, D. Eckert, M. Schaller +18
We present a gravitational lensing and X-ray analysis of a massive galaxy cluster and its surroundings. The core of MACS\,J0717.5+3745 (\,$10^{15}…
Quasi-Stellar Objects acting as potential Strong Gravitational Lenses in the SDSS-III BOSS survey
Romain A. Meyer, Timothée Delubac, Jean-Paul Kneib +1
We present a sample of 12 Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSOs) potentially acting as strong gravitational lenses on background Emission Line Galaxies (ELG) or Lyman- Emitters (LAEs) sel…
The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Bela Abolfathi, D. S. Aguado, Gabriela Aguilar +344
The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in operation since July 2014. This paper describes the second data release from this phase, and the fourtee…
Extreme magnification of a star at redshift 1.5 by a galaxy-cluster lens
Patrick L. Kelly, Jose M. Diego, Steven Rodney +42
Galaxy-cluster gravitational lenses can magnify background galaxies by a total factor of up to ~50. Here we report an image of an individual star at redshift z=1.49 (dubbed "MACS J…
A bright lensed galaxy at with strong Ly emission
Ian D. McGreer, Benjamin Clément, Ramesh Mainali +10
We present a detailed study of a unusually bright, lensed galaxy at discovered within the CFHTLS imaging survey. With an observed flux of , J141446.82+54…
VICS82: the VISTA-CFHT Stripe 82 near-infrared survey
J. E. Geach, Y-T. Lin, M. Makler +14
We present the VISTA-CFHT Stripe 82 (VICS82) survey: a near-infrared (J+Ks) survey covering 150 square degrees of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) equatorial Stripe 82 to an ave…
