The impact of human expert visual inspection on the discovery of strong gravitational lenses

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate, Elodie Marie Charlène Savary, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Rémy Elie Joseph

We investigate the ability of human 'expert' classifiers to identify strong gravitational lens candidates in Dark Energy Survey like imaging. We recruited a total of 55 people that completed more than 25 per cent of the project. During the classification t ...

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 ...

Microlensing of Strongly Lensed Quasars

Georgios Vernardos, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Austin Chandler Peel

Strong gravitational lensing of quasars has the potential to unlock the poorly understood physics of these fascinating objects, as well as serve as a probe of the lensing mass distribution and of cosmological parameters. In particular, gravitational microl ...

Discovery of strongly lensed quasars in the Ultraviolet Near Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS)

Hung-Hsu Chan, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Georgios Vernardos, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate, Elodie Marie Charlène Savary, Eric Gérard Guy Paic

We report the discovery of five new doubly imaged lensed quasars from the first 2500 square degrees of the ongoing Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS), which is a component of the Ultraviolet Near Infrared Optical Northern Survey. The systems are preselect ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
