Tdcosmo Xvii. New Time Delays in 22 Lensed Quasars From Optical Monitoring with the Eso-vst 2.6m and Mpg 2.2m Telescopes

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Frédéric Dux, Favio César Neira Diaz

We present new time delays, the main ingredient of time delay cosmography, for 22 lensed quasars resulting from high-cadence r-band monitoring on the 2.6 m ESO VLT Survey Telescope and Max-Planck-Gesellschaft 2.2 m telescope. Each lensed quasar was typical ...

Strongly lensed SNe Ia in the era of LSST: observing cadence for lens discoveries and time-delay measurements

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin

The upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will detect many strongly lensed Type Ia supernovae (LSNe Ia) for time-delay cosmography. This will provide an independent and direct way for measuring the Hubble constant H0, which is necessary to addres ...

H0LiCOW-XI. A weak lensing measurement of the external convergence in the field of the lensed quasar B1608+656 using HST and Subaru deep imaging

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Vivien François Bonvin, David Richard Harvey, Austin Chandler Peel, Olga Tihhonova

We investigate the environment and line of sight (LoS) of the H0LiCOW (H-0 Lenses in COSMOGRAIL's Wellspring) lens B1608+656 using Subaru Suprime-Cam and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to perform a weak lensing analysis. We compare three different method ...

H0LiCOW-II. Spectroscopic survey and galaxy-group identification of the strong gravitational lens system HE 0435-1223

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

Galaxies located in the environment or along the line of sight towards gravitational lenses can significantly affect lensing observables, and can lead to systematic errors on the measurement of H-0 from the time-delay technique. We present the results of a ...

H0LiCOW XII. Lens mass model of WFI2033-4723 and blind measurement of its time-delay distance and H-0

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin

We present the lens mass model of the quadruply-imaged gravitationally lensed quasar WFI2033 - 4723, and perform a blind cosmographical analysis based on this system. Our analysis combines (1) time-delay measurements from 14 yr of data obtained by the COSm ...

Constraints on the Hubble constant from supernova Refsdal's reappearance

Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon

The gravitationally lensed supernova Refsdal appeared in multiple images produced through gravitational lensing by a massive foreground galaxy cluster. After the supernova appeared in 2014, lens models of the galaxy cluster predicted that an additional ima ...

Models of the strongly lensed quasar DES J0408-5354

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Eduardo Sanchez, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

We present detailed modelling of the recently discovered, quadruply lensed quasar J0408-5354, with the aim of interpreting its remarkable configuration: besides three quasar images (A, B, D) around the main deflector (G1), a fourth image (C) is significant ...

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 ...

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

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

Impact of the 3D source geometry on time-delay measurements of lensed type-Ia supernovae

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Elodie Marie Charlène Savary, Olga Tihhonova

It has recently been proposed that gravitationally lensed type-Ia supernovae can provide microlensing-free time-delay measurements provided that the measurement is taken during the achromatic expansion phase of the explosion and that color light curves are ...

TDCOSMO II. Six new time delays in lensed quasars from high-cadence monitoring at the MPIA 2.2m telescope

Sun Hee Kim, Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

We present six new time-delay measurements obtained from Rc-band monitoring data acquired at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPIA) 2.2m telescope at La Silla observatory between October 2016 and February 2020. The lensed quasars HE0047 1756, WG0 ...

The Magnificent Five Images of Supernova Refsdal: Time Delay and Magnification Measurements

Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon

In late 2014, four images of Supernova (SN) "Refsdal," the first known example of a strongly lensed SN with multiple resolved images, were detected in the MACS J1149 galaxy-cluster field. Following the images' discovery, the SN was predicted to reappear wi ...
