Mass & Light in Galaxy Clusters: The case of Abell 370
M. Limousin, A. Niemiec, B. Beauchesne +16
Parametric strong lensing studies of galaxy clusters often display "misleading features". This is the case in the galaxy cluster Abell 370. Using strong lensing techniques, it has…
SuperBIT Superpressure Flight Instrument Overview and Performance: Near diffraction-limited Astronomical Imaging from the Stratosphere
Ajay S. Gill, Steven J. Benton, Christopher J. Damaren +26
SuperBIT was a 0.5-meter near-ultraviolet to near-infrared wide-field telescope that launched on a NASA superpressure balloon into the stratosphere from New Zealand for a 45-night…
From SuperBIT to GigaBIT: Informing next-generation balloon-borne telescope design with Fine Guidance System flight data
Philippe Voyer, Steven J. Benton, Christopher J. Damaren +28
The Super-pressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) is a near-diffraction-limited 0.5m telescope that launched via NASA's super-pressure balloon technology on April 16, 2…
BUFFALO Wild Wings: A High Precision Free-Form Lens Model of MACSJ0416 with Constraints on Dark Matter from Substructure and Highly Magnified Arcs
Derek Perera, Liliya L. R. Williams, Jori Liesenborgs +10
We present new free-form and hybrid mass reconstructions of the galaxy cluster lens MACS J0416.12403 at using the lens inversion method GRALE. The reconstructions use…
The Blue Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (BlueMUSE) on the VLT: science drivers and overview of instrument design
Johan Richard, Rémi Giroud, Florence Laurent +47
BlueMUSE is a blue-optimised, medium spectral resolution, panoramic integral field spectrograph under development for the Very Large Telescope (VLT). With an optimised transmission…
The galaxy-galaxy strong lensing cross section and the internal distribution of matter in ΛCDM substructure
Yarone M. Tokayer, Isaque Dutra, Priyamvada Natarajan +3
Strong gravitational lensing offers a powerful probe of the detailed distribution of matter in lenses, while magnifying and bringing faint background sources into view. Observed st…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- A preview of the Euclid era through a galaxy cluster magnifying lens
H. Atek, R. Gavazzi, J. R. Weaver +200
We present the first analysis of the Euclid Early Release Observations (ERO) program that targets fields around two lensing clusters, Abell 2390 and Abell 2764. We use VIS and NISP…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- Programme overview and pipeline for compact- and diffuse-emission photometry
J. -C. Cuillandre, E. Bertin, M. Bolzonella +260
The Euclid ERO showcase Euclid's capabilities in advance of its main mission, targeting 17 astronomical objects, from galaxy clusters, nearby galaxies, globular clusters, to star-f…
The KALEIDOSCOPE survey : A new strong and weak gravitational lensing view of the massive galaxy cluster MACS J1423.8+2404
Nency R. Patel, Mathilde Jauzac, Anna Niemiec +6
We present a combined strong and weak gravitational-lensing analysis of the massive galaxy cluster MACS J1423.8+2404 (, MACS J1423 hereafter), one of the most dynamically…
Identification of 40 gravitationally magnified stars in a galaxy at redshift of 0.725
Yoshinobu Fudamoto, Fengwu Sun, Jose M. Diego +44
Strong gravitational magnifications enable to detect faint background sources, resolve their internal structures, and even identify individual stars in distant galaxies. Highly mag…
A complex node of the cosmic web associated with the massive galaxy cluster MACS J0600.1-2008
Lukas J. Furtak, Adi Zitrin, Johan P. Richard +18
MACS J0600.1-2008 (MACS0600) is an X-ray luminous, massive galaxy cluster at , studied previously by the REionization LensIng Cluster Survey (RELICS) and ALMA…
