Constraining quasar structure using high-frequency microlensing variations and continuum reverberation

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Georgios Vernardos

Gravitational microlensing is a powerful tool for probing the inner structure of strongly lensed quasars and for constraining parameters of the stellar mass function of lens galaxies. This is achieved by analysing microlensing light curves between the mult ...

Detectability of Large Correlation Length Inflationary Magnetic Field with Cherenkov Telescopes

Magnetic fields occupying the voids of the large scale structure may be a relic from the Early Universe originating from either Inflation or from cosmological phase transitions. We explore the possibility of identifying the inflationary origin of the void ...

Teaching machines how to find strongly lensed galaxies in cosmological sky surveys.

Elodie Marie Charlène Savary

Analyzing gravitationally lensed objects enables a wide range of physical and cosmological applications, such as probing the dark matter content in galaxies and clusters or measuring the Universe's expansion rate.The precision of these applications can be ...

Time-delay Cosmography with Strongly Lensed Quasars

Martin Raoul Robert Millon

The LCDM model has emerged as the concordance model of cosmology for its ability to explain a variety of observations, ranging from the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) to the accelerated expansion of the Universe. However, with the ev ...

Measuring accretion disk sizes of lensed quasars with microlensing time delay in multi-band light curves

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate

Time-delay cosmography in strongly lensed quasars offers an independent way of measuring the Hubble constant, H-0. However, it has been proposed that the combination of microlensing and source-size effects, also known as microlensing time delay, can potent ...

Testing the evolution of correlations between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies using eight strongly lensed quasars

Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Adriano Agnello

One of the main challenges in using high-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to study the correlations between the mass of a supermassive black hole (M-BH) and the properties of its active host galaxy is instrumental resolution. Strong lensing magnifica ...

Baryon acoustic oscillations in the projected cross-correlation function between the eBOSS DR16 quasars and photometric galaxies from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys

Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor

We search for the baryon acoustic oscillations in the projected cross-correlation function binned into transverse comoving radius between the SDSS-IV DR16 eBOSS quasars and a dense photometric sample of galaxies selected from the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: a catalogue of strong galaxy-galaxy lens candidates

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

We spectroscopically detected 838 likely, 448 probable, and 265 possible strong lens candidates within approximate to 2million galaxy spectra contained within the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) from the sixteenth data release (DR1 ...

Euclid preparation: XI. Mean redshift determination from galaxy redshift probabilities for cosmic shear tomography

Gianluca Castignani, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli

The analysis of weak gravitational lensing in wide-field imaging surveys is considered to be a major cosmological probe of dark energy. Our capacity to constrain the dark energy equation of state relies on an accurate knowledge of the galaxy mean redshift ...

The GOGREEN and GCLASS surveys: first data release

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

We present the first public data release of the GOGREEN (Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments) and GCLASS (Gemini CLuster Astrophysics Spectroscopic Survey) surveys of galaxies in dense environments, spanning a redshift range 0.8 < z ...
