Discovery of Strongly Lensed Quasars in the Ultraviolet Near Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS)

J. H. H. Chan, C. Lemon, F. Courbin +13

We report the discovery of five new doubly-imaged lensed quasars from the first 2500 square degrees of the ongoing Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS), which is a component of the…

Ram Pressure Candidates in UNIONS

Ian D. Roberts, Laura C. Parker, Stephen Gwyn +17

We present a search for disturbed, candidate ram pressure stripping galaxies across more than 50 spectroscopically selected SDSS groups and clusters. Forty-eight ram pressure candi…
