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…
Strong Lensing Science Collaboration input to the on-sky commissioning of the Vera Rubin Observatory
Graham P. Smith, Timo Anguita, Simon Birrer +10
We present the Strong Lensing Science Collaboration's (SLSC) recommended observing targets for the science verification and science validation phases of commissioning. Our recommen…
Strong lensing in UNIONS: Toward a pipeline from discovery to modeling
E. Savary, K. Rojas, M. Maus +16
We present a search for galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses in the initial 2 500 square degrees of the Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS). We designed a convolutional neural…
Finding quadruply imaged quasars with machine learning. I. Methods
A. Akhazhanov, A. More, A. Amini +68
Strongly lensed quadruply imaged quasars (quads) are extraordinary objects. They are very rare in the sky -- only a few tens are known to date -- and yet they provide unique inform…
J17218842: a gravitationally lensed binary quasar with a proximate damped Lyman- absorber
C. Lemon, M. Millon, D. Sluse +5
High-redshift binary quasars provide key insights into mergers and quasar activity, and are useful tools for probing the spatial kinematics and chemistry of galaxies along the line…
Strong lens systems search in the Dark Energy Survey using Convolutional Neural Networks
K. Rojas, E. Savary, B. Clément +8
We performed a search for strong lens galaxy-scale systems in the first data release of the Dark Energy Survey (DES), from a color-selected parent sample of 18~745~029 Luminous Red…
