CURLING - I. The influence of point-like image approximation on the outcomes of cluster strong lens modelling

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Nan Li

Cluster-scale strong lensing is a powerful tool for exploring the properties of dark matter and constraining cosmological models. However, due to the complex parameter space, pixelized strong lens modelling in galaxy clusters is computationally expensive, ...

Strong gravitational lensing's 'external shear' is not shear

David Richard Harvey, Mathilde Jauzac, Richard Massey

The distribution of mass in galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses is often modelled as an elliptical power-law plus 'external shear', which notionally accounts for neighbouring galaxies and cosmic shear along our line of sight. A small amount of externa ...

Time-Delay Cosmography: Measuring the Hubble Constant and Other Cosmological Parameters with Strong Gravitational Lensing

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon

Multiply lensed images of a same source experience a relative time delay in the arrival of photons due to the path length difference and the different gravitational potentials the photons travel through. This effect can be used to measure absolute distance ...

Searching for Strong Gravitational Lenses

Frédéric Courbin, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

Strong gravitational lenses provide unique laboratories for cosmological and astrophysical investigations, but they must first be discovered - a task that can be met with significant contamination by other astrophysical objects and asterisms. Here we revie ...

Deep learning approach for identification of H II regions during reionization in 21-cm observations - II. Foreground contamination

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Emma Elizabeth Tolley, Tianyue Chen, Michele Bianco

The upcoming Square Kilometre Array Observatory will produce images of neutral hydrogen distribution during the epoch of reionization by observing the corresponding 21-cm signal. However, the 21-cm signal will be subject to instrumental limitations such as ...

Euclid preparation XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel, Maurizio Martinelli, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina

This work considers which higher order modeling e ffects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter i ...

Uncovering a population of gravitational lens galaxies with magnified standard candle SN Zwicky

Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Rémy Elie Joseph, Johan Richard

Detecting gravitationally lensed supernovae is among the biggest challenges in astronomy. It involves a combination of two very rare phenomena: catching the transient signal of a stellar explosion in a distant galaxy and observing it through a nearly perfe ...

Probing the faint-end luminosity function of Lyman-alpha emitters at 3 < z < 7 behind 17 MUSE lensing clusters

Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Johan Richard

Context. This paper presents a study of the galaxy Lyman-alpha luminosity function (LF) using a large sample of 17 lensing clusters observed by the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) at the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). The magnification resulting ...
