Resolving the vicinity of supermassive black holes with gravitational microlensing

Georgios Vernardos

Upcoming wide-field surveys will discover thousands of new strongly lensed quasars which will be monitored with unprecedented cadence by the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Many of these quasars will undergo caustic-crossing events over the 10-yr L ...

A Highly Magnified Gravitationally Lensed Red QSO at z = 2.5 with a Significant Flux Ratio Anomaly

Hung-Hsu Chan

We present the discovery of a gravitationally lensed dust-reddened QSO at z = 2.517, identified in a survey for QSOs by infrared selection. Hubble Space Telescope imaging reveals a quadruply lensed system in a cusp configuration, with a maximum image separ ...

A possible dwarf galaxy satellite-of-satellite problem in ?CDM

Yves Revaz, Nick Heesters

Dark matter clusters on all scales, and it is therefore expected that even substructure should host its own substructure. Using the Extragalactic Distance Database, we searched for dwarf-galaxy satellites of dwarf galaxies, that is, satellite-of-satellite ...

Revealing galaxy candidates out to z similar to 16 with JWST observations of the lensing cluster SMACS0723

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek

One of the main goals of the JWST is to study the first galaxies in the Universe. We present a systematic photometric analysis of very distant galaxies in the first JWST deep field towards the massive lensing cluster SMACS0723. As a result, we report the d ...

The DESI One-Percent survey: exploring the Halo Occupation Distribution of Emission Line Galaxies with AbacusSummit simulations

David Schlegel, Jiaxi Yu, Zheng Zheng, Antoine Philippe Jacques Rocher

The One-Percent survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument collected similar to 270k emission line galaxies (ELGs) at 0.8 < z < 1.6. The high completeness of the sample allowed the clustering to be measured down to scales never probed before, 0.04 ...

Measurement of lepton universality parameters in B+→K+ℓ+ℓ− and B0→K*0ℓ+ℓ− decays

A simultaneous analysis of the

B^+\to K^+\ell^+\ell^-

and

B^0\to K^{*0}\ell^+\ell^-

decays is performed to test muon-electron universality in two ranges of the square of the dilepton invariant mass,

q^2

. The measurement uses a sample of beauty meson ...

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Initial CIV Lag Results from Four Years of Data

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Feng Li

We present reverberation-mapping (RM) lags and black hole mass measurements using the C IV lambda 1549 broad emission line from a sample of 348 quasars monitored as a part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey RM Project. Our data span four years of spectroscopi ...

Investigating Earth's Formation History Through Copper and Sulfur Metal-Silicate Partitioning During Core-Mantle Differentiation

James Badro

Identifying extant materials that act as compositional proxies for Earth is key to understanding its accretion. Copper and sulfur are both moderately volatile elements; however, they display different geochemical behavior (e.g., phase affinities). Thus, in ...

A High Space Density of Luminous Ly alpha Emitters at z similar to 6.5

Hakim Atek

We present the results of a systematic search for Ly alpha emitters (LAEs) at 6 less than or similar to z less than or similar to 7.6 using the HST WFC3 Infrared Spectroscopic Parallel (WISP) Survey. Our total volume over this redshift range is similar to ...

Gaia Data Release 1 Open cluster astrometry: performance, limitations, and future prospects

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Context. The first Gaia Data Release contains the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS). This is a subset of about 2 million stars for which, besides the position and photometry, the proper motion and parallax are calculated using Hipparcos and Tycho-2 po ...

H0LiCOW. VI. Testing the fidelity of lensed quasar host galaxy reconstruction

Frédéric Courbin

The empirical correlation between the mass of a supermassive black hole (M-BH) and its host galaxy properties is widely considered to be an evidence of their co-evolution. A powerful way to test the co-evolution scenario and learn about the feedback proces ...

Carbon and nitrogen abundances of individual stars in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo

We present [C/Fe] and [N/Fe] abundance ratios and CH(lambda 4300) and S(lambda 3883) index measurements for 94 red giant branch (RGB) stars in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy from VLT/VIMOS MOS observations at a resolving power R = 1150 at 4020 A. Thi ...

Disc colours in field and cluster spiral galaxies at 0.5 less than or similar to z less than or similar to 0.8

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Pascale Jablonka, Nicolas Jacques Joseph Marie Cantale

We present a detailed study of the colours of late-type galaxy discs for ten of the EDisCS galaxy clusters with 0.5 less than or similar to z less than or similar to 0.8. Our cluster sample contains 172 spiral galaxies, and our control sample is composed o ...

Herschel-ATLAS: a binary HyLIRG pinpointing a cluster of starbursting protoellipticals

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

Panchromatic observations of the best candidate hyperluminous infrared galaxies from the widest Herschel extragalactic imaging survey have led to the discovery of at least four intrinsically luminous z = 2.41 galaxies across an approximate to 100 kpc regio ...

An extended Herschel drop-out source in the center of AS1063: a normal dusty galaxy at z=6.1 or SZ substructures?

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

In the course of our 870 mu m APEX/LABOCA follow-up of the Herschel Lensing Survey we have detected a source in AS1063 (RXC J2248.7-4431) that has no counterparts in any of the Herschel PACS/SPIRE bands, it is a Herschel "drop-out" with S-870/S-500 >= 0.5. ...

Spectroscopy of extended Ly alpha envelopes around z=4.5 quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Pierre North, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

What are the frequency, shape, kinematics, and luminosity of Ly alpha envelopes surrounding radio-quiet quasars at high redshift, and is the luminosity of these envelopes related to that of the quasar or not? As a first step towards answering these questio ...
