Survey of Gravitationally-lensed Objects in HSC Imaging (SuGOHI): VI. Crowdsourced lens finding with Space Warps

Hung-Hsu Chan

Context. Strong lenses are extremely useful probes of the distribution of matter on galaxy and cluster scales at cosmological distances, however, they are rare and difficult to find. The number of currently known lenses is on the order of 1000.Aims. The ai ...

Evidence for a milliparsec-separation supermassive binary black hole with quasar microlensing

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Eric Gérard Guy Paic

We report periodic oscillations in the 15-year-long optical light curve of the gravitationally lensed quasar Q J0158-4325 at z(s) = 1.29. The signal is enhanced during a high magnification microlensing event of the quasar that the fainter lensed image, B, ...

HOLISMOKES V. Microlensing of type II supernovae and time-delay inference through spectroscopic phase retrieval

Hung-Hsu Chan

We investigate strongly gravitationally lensed type II supernovae (LSNe II) for time-delay cosmography, incorporating microlensing effects; this expands on previous microlensing studies of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We use the radiative-transfer code TAR ...

Probing compact dark matter objects with microlensing in gravitationally lensed quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Hung-Hsu Chan, Eric Gérard Guy Paic

The microlensing signal in the light curves of gravitationally lensed quasars can shed light on the dark matter (DM) composition in their lensing galaxies. Here, we investigate a sample of six lensed quasars from the most recent and best COSMOGRAIL observa ...

The GOGREEN survey: Internal dynamics of clusters of galaxies at redshift 0.9-1.4

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

Context. The study of galaxy cluster mass profiles (M(r)) provides constraints on the nature of dark matter and on physical processes affecting the mass distribution. The study of galaxy cluster velocity anisotropy profiles (beta (r)) informs the orbits of ...

The GOGREEN survey: dependence of galaxy properties on halo mass a z > 1 and implications for environmental quenching

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

We use photometric redshifts and statistical background subtraction to measure stellar mass functions in galaxy group-mass (4.5-8 x 10(13) M-circle dot) haloes at 1 < z < 1.5. Groups are selected from COSMOS and SXDF, based on X-ray imaging and sparse spec ...

Multiple Images and Flux Ratio Anomaly of Fuzzy Gravitational Lenses

Hung-Hsu Chan

Extremely light bosonic wave dark matter (y/DM) is an emerging dark matter candidate contesting the conventional cold dark matter paradigm and a model subject to intense scrutiny of late. This work for the first time reports testable salient features perti ...

J1721+8842: a gravitationally lensed binary quasar with a proximate damped Lyman-alpha absorber

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Hung-Hsu Chan, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

High-redshift binary quasars provide key insights into mergers and quasar activity, and are useful tools for probing the spatial kinematics and chemistry of galaxies along the line of sight. However, only three sub-10-kpc binaries have been confirmed above ...

Search of strong lens systems in the Dark Energy Survey using convolutional neural networks

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Georgios Vernardos, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate, Elodie Marie Charlène Savary

We present our search for strong lens, galaxy-scale systems in the first data release of the Dark Energy Survey (DES), based on a color-selected parent sample of 18 745 029 luminous red galaxies (LRGs). We used a convolutional neural network (CNN) to grade ...

Survey of gravitationally-lensed objects in HSC imaging (SuGOHI) III. Statistical strong lensing constraints on the stellar IMF of CMASS galaxies

Hung-Hsu Chan

Context. The determination of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) of massive galaxies is one of the open problems in cosmology. Strong gravitational lensing is one of the few methods that allow us to constrain the IMF outside of the Local Group. Aims. ...

The GOGREEN survey: transition galaxies and the evolution of environmental quenching

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

We measure the rate of environmentally driven star formation quenching in galaxies at z similar to 1, using eleven massive () galaxy clusters spanning a redshift range 1.0 < z < 1.4 from the GOGREEN sample. We identify three different types of transition g ...

GOGREEN: A critical assessment of environmental trends in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations at z approximate to 1

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

Recent observations have shown that the environmental quenching of galaxies at z & SIM; 1 is qualitatively different to that in the local Universe. However, the physical origin of these differences has not yet been elucidated. In addition, while low-redshi ...

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 ...

HOLISMOKES: III. Achromatic phase of strongly lensed Type Ia supernovae

Hung-Hsu Chan

To use strongly lensed Type Ia supernovae (LSNe Ia) for cosmology, a time-delay measurement between the multiple supernova (SN) images is necessary. The sharp rise and decline of SN Ia light curves make them promising for measuring time delays, but microle ...
