H0LiCOW VI. Testing the fidelity of lensed quasar host galaxy reconstruction
Xuheng Ding, Kai Liao, Tommaso Treu +11
The empirical correlation between the mass of a super-massive black hole (MBH) and its host galaxy properties is widely considered to be evidence of their co-evolution. A powerful…
H0LiCOW III. Quantifying the effect of mass along the line of sight to the gravitational lens HE 0435-1223 through weighted galaxy counts
Cristian E. Rusu, Christopher D. Fassnacht, Dominique Sluse +8
Based on spectroscopy and multiband wide-field observations of the gravitationally lensed quasar HE 0435-1223, we determine the probability distribution function of the external co…
H0LiCOW IV. Lens mass model of HE 0435-1223 and blind measurement of its time-delay distance for cosmology
Kenneth C. Wong, Sherry H. Suyu, Matthew W. Auger +13
Strong gravitational lenses with measured time delays between the multiple images allow a direct measurement of the time-delay distance to the lens, and thus a measure of cosmologi…
A Spectroscopically Confirmed Double Source Plane Lens System in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program
Masayuki Tanaka, Kenneth Wong, Anupreeta More +11
We report the serendipitous discovery of HSC J142449-005322, a double source plane lens system in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program. We dub the system Eye of Horus. Th…
Quantifying Environmental and Line-of-Sight Effects in Models of Strong Gravitational Lens Systems
Curtis McCully, Charles R. Keeton, Kenneth C. Wong +1
Matter near a gravitational lens galaxy or projected along the line of sight (LOS) can affect strong lensing observables by more than contemporary measurement errors. We simulate l…
SHARP - III: First Use Of Adaptive Optics Imaging To Constrain Cosmology With Gravitational Lens Time Delays
Geoff C. -F. Chen, Sherry H. Suyu, Kenneth C. Wong +9
Accurate and precise measurements of the Hubble constant are critical for testing our current standard cosmological model and revealing possibly new physics. With Hubble Space Tele…
