A sub-100 pc view at z~5 of a Multiply-Imaged Massive Quiescent Galaxy

Richard Pan, Danilo Marchesini, Joseph F. V. Allingham +34

Recent James Webb Space Telescope spectroscopic surveys reveal an abundance of rapidly assembled early galaxies in the first billion years. Cosmological simulations struggle to rep…

VENUS: an ultra-faint galaxy hosting the metal-poor type II supernova at Witnessing the initial metal enrichment with extremely frequent core-collapse supernovae?

Yoshihisa Asada, Seiji Fujimoto, Joseph F. V. Allingham +50

We present the first characterization of the host galaxy of a recently discovered type IIP SN at (SN Eos). SN Eos and its host galaxy are gravitationally lensed and multip…

Predisposition of galaxy clusters to producing exotic hyperbolic umbilic lensing configurations

Quentin Basto, Johan Richard, David J. Lagattuta +2

Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for investigating the universe's large-scale structure and understanding the properties of dark matter and dark energy. The magnific…

VENUS: Strong-lensing model of MACS J1931.8-2635 -- revealing the farthest multiply imaged supernova

Joseph F. V. Allingham, Adi Zitrin, Vasily Kokorev +42

We present a parametric strong-lensing model for the galaxy cluster MACS J1931.8-2635 (), accompanying the detection of the spectroscopically confirmed SN Eos at $z = 5…

Caught in Swallowtails: Discovery of Two Swallowtail Image Formations in MS 0451.6-0305

Ashish K. Meena, Wenlei Chen, Lukas J. Furtak +6

We report the discovery of two swallowtail image formations at and behind the galaxy cluster MS 0451.6-0305 in JWST-NIRCam imaging. We find that in both of the ab…

SLICE -- Combining Strong Lensing and X-ray in AC 114. Further Insights into the Merger Scenario

Marceau Limousin, Benjamin Beauchesne, Keren Sharon +14

AC114 is a historically significant galaxy cluster, being one of the first strong lensing clusters detected from the ground in the early 1990s, prior to the launch of the HST. Desp…

Strong LensIng and Cluster Evolution (SLICE) with JWST: Early Results, Lens Models, and High-Redshift Detections

Catherine Cerny, Guillaume Mahler, Keren Sharon +24

We leverage JWST's superb resolution to derive strong lensing mass maps of 14 clusters, spanning a redshift range of and a mass range of $M_{500}\sim2-12 \times…

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…

Non-thermal emission and dynamical state of massive galaxy clusters from CLASH sample

M. Pandey-Pommier, J. Richard, F. Combes +5

Massive galaxy clusters are the most violent large scale structures undergoing merger events in the Universe. Based upon their morphological properties in X-rays, they are classifi…

The structure of the merging RCS 231953+00 Supercluster at z ~ 0.9

A. J. Faloon, T. M. A. Webb, E. Ellingson +8

The RCS 2319+00 supercluster is a massive supercluster at z=0.9 comprising three optically selected, spectroscopically confirmed clusters separated by <3 Mpc on the plane of the sk…

Gauging the dark matter fraction in a S0 galaxy at z=0.47 through gravitational lensing from deep HST/ACS imaging

G. Covone, M. Paolillo, N. R. Napolitano +9

We analyze a new gravitational lens, OAC-GL J1223-1239, serendipitously found in a deep I-band image of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). The lens…

First results from the VIMOS-IFU survey of gravitationally lensing clusters at z~0.2

Giovanni Covone, Jean-Paul Kneib, Genevieve Soucail +2

We present the on-going observational program of a VIMOS Integral Field Unit survey of the central regions of massive, gravitational lensing galaxy clusters at redshift z~0.2. We h…
