Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). The Strong Lensing Discovery Engine F -- Bright and low-redshift strong lenses

Euclid Collaboration, L. R. Ecker, M. Fabricius +346

We present 72 additional galaxy-galaxy strong lenses that complement the sample discovered in the Euclid Quick Release 1 data (63.1 deg^2) of the Strong Lens Discovery Engine (SLDE…

The impact of human expert visual inspection on the discovery of strong gravitational lenses

Karina Rojas, Thomas E. Collett, Daniel Ballard +53

We investigate the ability of human 'expert' classifiers to identify strong gravitational lens candidates in Dark Energy Survey like imaging. We recruited a total of 55 people that…

Hubble Asteroid Hunter: II. Identifying strong gravitational lenses in HST images with crowdsourcing

Emily O. Garvin, Sandor Kruk, Claude Cornen +3

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) archives constitute a rich dataset of high resolution images to mine for strong gravitational lenses. While many HST programs specifically target s…

The lens SW05 J143454.4+522850: a fossil group at redshift 0.6?

Philipp Denzel, Onur Çatmabacak, Jonathan P. Coles +8

Fossil groups are considered the end product of natural galaxy group evolution in which group members sink towards the centre of the gravitational potential due to dynamical fricti…

Models of gravitational lens candidates from Space Warps CFHTLS

Rafael Küng, Prasenjit Saha, Ignacio Ferreras +9

We report modelling follow-up of recently-discovered gravitational-lens candidates in the Canada France Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey. Lens modelling was done by a small group of…

AGN photoionization of gas in companion galaxies as a probe of AGN radiation in time and direction

William C. Keel, Vardha N. Bennert, Anna Pancoast +9

We consider AGN photoionization of gas in companion galaxies (cross-ionization) as a way to sample the intensity of AGN radiation in both direction and time, independent of the gas…
