Simultaneous Estimation of Time Delays and Quasar Structure
Christopher W. Morgan, Michael E. Eyler, C. S. Kochanek +5
We expand our Bayesian Monte Carlo method for analyzing the light curves of gravitationally lensed quasars to simultaneously estimate time delays and quasar structure including the…
COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses V. The time delay in SDSS J1650+4251
C. Vuissoz, F. Courbin, D. Sluse +8
Aims: Our aim is to measure the time delay between the two gravitationally lensed images of the z = 1.547 quasar SDSS J1650+4251, in order to estimate the Hubble constant H_0. Meth…
COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses III. Redshift of the lensing galaxy in eight gravitationally lensed quasars
A. Eigenbrod, F. Courbin, G. Meylan +3
Aims: We measure the redshift of the lensing galaxy in eight gravitationally lensed quasars in view of determining the Hubble parameter H_0 from the time delay method. Methods: Dee…
COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses II. SDSS J0924+0219: the redshift of the lensing galaxy, the quasar spectral variability and the Einstein rings
A. Eigenbrod, F. Courbin, S. Dye +6
(Abridged) We present our VLT/FORS1 deep spectroscopic observations of the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J0924+0219, as well as archival HST/NICMOS and ACS images of the same…
COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses I. How to sample the light curves of gravitationally lensed quasars to measure accurate time delays
A. Eigenbrod, F. Courbin, C. Vuissoz +3
We use numerical simulations to test a broad range of plausible observational strategies designed to measure the time delay between the images of gravitationally lensed quasars. Ar…
New estimates of the contribution of Wolf--Rayet stellar winds to the Galactic 26Al
A. Palacios, G. Meynet, C. Vuissoz +4
We present new yields of 26Al from Wolf--Rayet stellar winds based on rotating stellar models which account well for numerous observed properties of massive stars. We study the imp…
