Statistical Strong Lensing V. Inference with Microlensed Quasars
Shuo Zhang, Alessandro Sonnenfeld
Microlensing of strongly lensed quasars provides direct information on the stellar component of lens galaxies, and can help break the degeneracy between the stellar initial mass fu…
Strong gravitational lensing with Euclid
Alessandro Sonnenfeld
Euclid data is going to lead to the discovery of approximately 10^5 new strong gravitational lenses, thereby increasing the number of known lenses by a factor of 30. Such an impres…
Weighing Galaxies Inside-Out: Small-Scale Lensing and the Stellar Mass Problem
Divya Rana, Henk Hoekstra, Konrad Kuijken +2
Small-scale galaxy-galaxy weak lensing provides an independent way to probe the stellar initial mass function by constraining the matter distribution within galaxies. We forecast t…
Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). AstroVink: A vision transformer approach to find strong gravitational lens systems
Euclid Collaboration, S. H. Vincken, K. Rojas +302
We present AstroVink, a vision transformer classifier designed for automated identification of strong lens candidates in Euclid imaging. We build upon the DINOv2 encoder, fine tune…
Milky-Way-like stars in a galaxy core 8 billion years ago revealed by gravitational lensing
Quirino D'Amato, Filippo Mannucci, Alessandro Sonnenfeld +40
The assembly of stellar-dominated cores in elliptical galaxies is key to understanding how cosmic structures evolved. Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into the nature o…
Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). The Strong Lensing Discovery Engine F -- Bright and low-redshift strong lenses
Euclid Collaboration, L. R. Ecker, M. Fabricius +346
We present 72 additional galaxy-galaxy strong lenses that complement the sample discovered in the Euclid Quick Release 1 data (63.1 deg^2) of the Strong Lens Discovery Engine (SLDE…
