COSMOGRAIL XVIII. time delays of the quadruply lensed quasar WFI2033-4723

Sun Hee Kim, Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Malte Tewes, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate

We present new measurements of the time delays of WFI2033-4723. The data sets used in this work include 14 years of data taken at the 1.2 m Leonhard Euler Swiss telescope, 13 years of data from the SMARTS 1.3 m telescope at Las Campanas Observatory and a s ...

H0LiCOW-IX. Cosmographic analysis of the doubly imaged quasar SDSS 1206+4332 and a new measurement of the Hubble constant

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Hung-Hsu Chan, Riccardo Agnello, Vivien François Bonvin

We present a blind time-delay strong lensing (TDSL) cosmographic analysis of the doubly imaged quasar SDSS 1206+4332. We combine the relative time delay between the quasar images, Hubble Space Telescope imaging, the Keck stellar velocity dispersion of the ...

A SHARP view of H0LiCOW: H-0 from three time-delay gravitational lens systems with adaptive optics imaging

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon

We present the measurement of the Hubble constant, H-0, with three strong gravitational lens systems, We describe a blind analysis of both PG 1115+080 and 11E0435-1223 as well as an extension of our previous analysis of RXJ 1131-1231. For each lens, we com ...

Characterising the environment and the line of sight of gravitationally lensed quasars using weak lensing technique

Olga Tihhonova

Estimates of the Hubble constant from different cosmological probes produce discrepant results in the framework of the standard cosmological model. In order to assess whether this tension is coming from unaccounted systematic errors, or is hinting towards ...

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: A Precise H-0 Estimate from DES Y1, BAO, and D/H Data

Eduardo Sanchez, Craig Matthew Smith, Jonathan Andrew Blazek, Aaron James Rossini, Augusto Martins Lima, Juan Andrei Villarroel Fernandez

We combine Dark Energy Survey Year 1 clustering and weak lensing data with baryon acoustic oscillations and Big Bang nucleosynthesis experiments to constrain the Hubble constant. Assuming a flat Lambda CDM model with minimal neutrino mass (Sigma m(v), = 0. ...

Constraining the microlensing effect on time delays with a new time-delay prediction model in H-0 measurements

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

Time-delay strong lensing provides a unique way to directly measure the Hubble constant (H-0). The precision of the H-0 measurement depends on the uncertainties in the time-delay measurements, the mass distribution of the main deflector(s), and the mass di ...

Emergence of Friedmann Equation of Cosmology of a Flat Universe from the Time-Energy Uncertainty Principle

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

Friedmann equation of cosmology is based on the field equations of general relativity. Its derivation is straight-forward once the Einstein’s field equations are given and the derivation is independent of quantum mechanics. In this paper, it is shown that ...

Precise measurements of time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars for competitive and independent determination of the Hubble constant

Vivien François Bonvin

During these last decades, by virtue of observations, the Standard Cosmological Model has emerged, providing a description of the Universe's evolution using a minimal set of independent constraints - the cosmological parameters. Among them is the expansion ...

H0LiCOW-I. H-0 Lenses in COSMOGRAIL's Wellspring: program overview

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Vivien François Bonvin, Malte Tewes, Olga Tihhonova

Strong gravitational lens systems with time delays between the multiple images allow measurements of time-delay distances, which are primarily sensitive to the Hubble constant that is key to probing dark energy, neutrino physics and the spatial curvature o ...

HOLiCOW - IV. Lens mass model of HE 0435-1223 and blind measurement of its time-delay distance for cosmology

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin

Strong gravitational lenses with measured time delays between the multiple images allow a direct measurement of the time-delay distance to the lens, and thus a measure of cosmological parameters, particularly the Hubble constant, H-0. We present a blind le ...

Polarised black holes in ABJM

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes

We numerically construct asymptotically AdS(4) solutions to Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. These have a dipolar electrostatic potential turned on at the conformal boundary S-2 x R-t. We find two classes of geometries: AdS soliton solutions that encode th ...

The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: single-probe measurements from CMASS anisotropic galaxy clustering

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Schlegel

With the largest spectroscopic galaxy survey volume drawn from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), we can extract cosmological constraints from the measurements of redshift and geometric distortions at quasi-linear scales (e.g. abo ...
