Determining Cosmological-model-independent with Gravitationally Lensed Supernova Refsdal

Xiaolei Li, Kai Liao

{The reappearance of supernova Refsdal with detailed modeling of the lens cluster allows us to measure the time-delay distance,} which serves as a powerful tool to determine the Hu…

Hunting Galactic Axion Dark Matter with Gravitationally Lensed Fast Radio Bursts

Ran Gao, Zhengxiang Li, Kai Liao +3

Ultralight axion or axionlike particles are one of the most promising candidates for dark matter because they are a well-motivated solution for the theoretical strong problem…

A Model-independent Method to Determine Using Time-Delay Lensing, Quasars and Type Ia Supernovae

Xiaolei Li, Ryan E. Keeley, Arman Shafieloo +1

Absolute distances from strong lensing can anchor Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) at cosmological distances giving a model-independent inference of the Hubble constant (). Future…

Strongly Lensed Transient Sources: A Review

Kai Liao, Marek Biesiada, Zong-Hong Zhu

The past decades have witnessed a lot of progress in gravitational lensing with two main targets: stars and galaxies (with active galactic nuclei). The success is partially attribu…
