Enabling discovery of gravitationally lensed explosive transients: a new method to build an all-sky watch-list of groups and clusters of galaxies

Dan Ryczanowski, Graham P. Smith, Matteo Bianconi +4

Cross-referencing a watchlist of galaxy groups and clusters with transient detections from real-time streams of wide-field survey data is a promising method for discovering gravita…

On the gravitational lensing interpretation of three gravitational wave detections in the mass gap by LIGO and Virgo

Matteo Bianconi, Graham P. Smith, Matt Nicholl +7

We search for gravitational wave (GW) events from LIGO-Virgo's third run that may have been affected by gravitational lensing. Gravitational lensing delays the arrival of GWs, and…

Discovering gravitationally lensed gravitational waves: predicted rates, candidate selection, and localization with the Vera Rubin Observatory

Graham P. Smith, Andrew Robertson, Guillaume Mahler +7

Secure confirmation that a gravitational wave (GW) has been gravitationally lensed would bring together these two pillars of General Relativity for the first time. This breakthroug…

Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: characterisation of tidal features from mock images

G. Martin, A. E. Bazkiaei, M. Spavone +50

Tidal features in the outskirts of galaxies yield unique information about their past interactions and are a key prediction of the hierarchical structure formation paradigm. The Ve…

Pilot-WINGS: An extended MUSE view of the structure of Abell 370

David J. Lagattuta, Johan Richard, Franz Erik Bauer +18

We investigate the strong-lensing cluster Abell 370 (A370) using a wide Integral Field Unit (IFU) spectroscopic mosaic from the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE). IFU spectr…
