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. ...

The extraordinary amount of substructure in the Hubble Frontier Fields cluster Abell 2744

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Hakim Atek, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, David Richard Harvey, Markus Rexroth

We present a joint optical/X-ray analysis of the massive galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (z = 0.308). Our strong- and weak-lensing analysis within the central region of the cluster, i.e. at R < 1 Mpc from the brightest cluster galaxy, reveals eight substructures ...

Mass and magnification maps for the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields clusters: implications for high-redshift studies

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

Extending over three Hubble Space Telescope (HST) cycles, the Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF) initiative constitutes the largest commitment ever of HST time to the exploration of the distant Universe via gravitational lensing by massive galaxy clusters. Here, ...

Euclid: A complete Einstein ring in NGC 6505

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Javier Alejandro Acevedo Barroso

We report the discovery of a complete Einstein ring around the elliptical galaxy NGC 6505, at z = 0.042. This is the first strong gravitational lens discovered in Euclid and the first in an NGC object from any survey. The combination of the low redshift of ...

An atlas of MUSE observations towards twelve massive lensing clusters

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Amélie Tamone, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Andrei Variu

Context. Spectroscopic surveys of massive galaxy clusters reveal the properties of faint background galaxies thanks to the magnification provided by strong gravitational lensing.Aims. We present a systematic analysis of integral-field-spectroscopy observat ...

Euclid: Searches for strong gravitational lenses using convolutional neural nets in Early Release Observations of the Perseus field

Georges Meylan, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Olivia Mueller

The Euclid Wide Survey (EWS) is predicted to find approximately 170 000 galaxy-galaxy strong lenses from its lifetime observation of 14 000 deg2 of the sky. Detecting this many lenses by visual inspection with professional astronomers and citizen scientist ...

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 ...

A complete census of Herschel-detected infrared sources within the HST Frontier Fields

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

We present a complete census of all Herschel-detected sources within the six massive lensing clusters of the HST Frontier Fields (HFF). We provide a robust legacy catalogue of 263 sources with Herschel fluxes, primarily based on imaging from the Herschel L ...

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 ...

Improving parametric mass modelling of lensing clusters through a perturbative approach

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Benjamin Emmanuel Nicolas Beauchesne

We present a new method to model the mass distribution of galaxy clusters that combines a parametric and a free-form approach to reconstruct cluster cores with strong lensing constraints. It aims at combining the advantages of both approaches, by keeping t ...

Evolution of the observed Ly alpha luminosity function from z=6.5 to z=7.7: evidence for the epoch of reionization?

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Frédéric Courbin, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

Aims. Ly alpha emitters (LAEs) can be detected out to very high redshifts during the epoch of reionization. The evolution of the LAE luminosity function with redshift is a direct probe of the Ly alpha transmission of the intergalactic medium (IGM), and the ...
