Multi-wavelength lens reconstruction of a -detected star-bursting galaxy

Nicholas Timmons, Asantha Cooray, Dominik A. Riechers +21

We present a source-plane reconstruction of a and -detected gravitationally-lensed dusty star-forming galaxy (DSFG) at using {\it Hubble}, S…

The Gini Coefficient as a Tool for Image Family Idenitification in Strong Lensing Systems with Multiple Images

Michael K. Florian, Michael D. Gladders, Nan Li +1

The sample of cosmological strong lensing systems has been steadily growing in recent years and with the advent of the next generation of space-based survey telescopes, the sample…

PICS: Simulations of Strong Gravitational Lensing in Galaxy Clusters

Nan Li, Michael D. Gladders, Esteban M. Rangel +5

Gravitational lensing has become one of the most powerful tools available for investigating the 'dark side' of the universe. Cosmological strong gravitational lensing, in particula…

The Gini Coefficient as a Morphological Measurement of Strongly Lensed Galaxies in the Image Plane

Michael K. Florian, Nan Li, Michael D. Gladders

Characterization of the morphology of strongly lensed galaxies is challenging because images of such galaxies are typically highly distorted. Lens modeling and source plane reconst…

C III] Emission in Star-Forming Galaxies Near and Far

Jane R. Rigby, Matthew B. Bayliss, Michael D. Gladders +5

We measure C III] 1907,1909 A emission lines in eleven gravitationally--lensed star-forming galaxies at z~1.6--3, finding much lower equivalent widths than previously reported for…

Weak-lensing-inferred scaling relations of galaxy clusters in the RCS2: mass-richness, mass-concentration, mass-bias, and more

Edo van Uitert, David G. Gilbank, Henk Hoekstra +3

We study a sample of ~10^4 galaxy clusters in the redshift range 0.2<z<0.8 with masses M_200 > 5x10^13 h_70^-1 M_sun, discovered in the second Red-sequence Cluster Survey (RCS2). T…

Time Delay Measurements for the Cluster-lensed Sextuple Quasar SDSS J2222+2745

H. Dahle, M. D. Gladders, K. Sharon +2

We report first results from an ongoing monitoring campaign to measure time delays between the six images of the quasar SDSS\,J22222745, gravitationally lensed by a galaxy clust…

The Dark Energy Camera

B. Flaugher, H. T. Diehl, K. Honscheid +115

The Dark Energy Camera is a new imager with a 2.2-degree diameter field of view mounted at the prime focus of the Victor M. Blanco 4-meter telescope on Cerro Tololo near La Serena,…

A Multi-Wavelength Mass Analysis of RCS2 J232727.6-020437, a ~3x10M Galaxy Cluster at z=0.7

K. Sharon, M. D. Gladders, D. P. Marrone +19

We present an initial study of the mass and evolutionary state of a massive and distant cluster, RCS2 J232727.6-020437. This cluster, at z=0.6986, is the richest cluster discovered…

A Calibration of NICMOS Camera 2 for Low Count-Rates

D. Rubin, G. Aldering, R. Amanullah +20

NICMOS 2 observations are crucial for constraining distances to most of the existing sample of z > 1 SNe Ia. Unlike the conventional calibration programs, these observations involv…
