The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Simulating quasar microlensing light curves: High magnification events
Favio Neira, Timo Anguita, Georgios Vernardos
Quasar microlensing can be used to constrain important astrophysical properties, such as the accretion disk size and the amount of stars in the lensing galaxy. The associated brigh…
LTDE: The Lens Time Delay Experiment I. From pixels to light curves
Favio Neira, Frédéric Courbin, Frédéric Dux +1
Gravitationally lensed quasars offer a unique opportunity to study cosmological and extragalactic phenomena, using reliable light curves of the lensed images. This requires accurat…
TDCOSMO XVII. New time delays in 22 lensed quasars from optical monitoring with the ESO-VST 2.6m and MPG 2.2m telescopes
Frédéric Dux, Martin Millon, Aymeric Galan +29
We present new time delays, the main ingredient of time delay cosmography, for 22 lensed quasars resulting from high-cadence r-band monitoring on the 2.6 m ESO VLT Survey Telescope…
Predicting High-magnification Events in Microlensed Quasars in the Era of LSST using Recurrent Neural Networks
Joshua Fagin, Eric Paic, Favio Neira +6
Upcoming widefield surveys, such as the Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), will monitor thousands of strongly lensed quasars over a 10 yr period. Many of t…
