Gravitationally lensed quasars in Gaia - IV. 150 new lenses, quasar pairs, and projected quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Adriano Agnello

We report the spectroscopic follow-up of 175 lensed quasar candidates selected using Gaia Data Release 2 observations following Paper III of this series. Systems include 86 confirmed lensed quasars and a further 17 likely lensed quasars based on imaging an ...

Strong gravitational lensing by AGNs as a probe of the quasar-host relations in the distant Universe

Malte Tewes, Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan

A rare case of a quasar acting as a gravitational lens allows a precise determination of the mass of the quasar's host galaxy and offers a new path to studying the connections between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. ...

Probing compact dark matter objects with microlensing in gravitationally lensed quasars

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

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 ...

Tensor approximation of the self-diffusion matrix of tagged particle processes

Christoph Max Strössner

The objective of this paper is to investigate a new numerical method for the approximation of the self-diffusion matrix of a tagged particle process defined on a grid. While standard numerical methods make use of long-time averages of empirical means of de ...

LensWatch. I. Resolved HST Observations and Constraints on the Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernova 2022qmx ("SN Zwicky")

Frédéric Courbin, Adriano Agnello

Supernovae (SNe) that have been multiply imaged by gravitational lensing are rare and powerful probes for cosmology. Each detection is an opportunity to develop the critical tools and methodologies needed as the sample of lensed SNe increases by orders of ...

A KL Divergence-Based Loss for In Vivo Ultrafast Ultrasound Image Enhancement with Deep Learning

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Roser Vinals Terres

Ultrafast ultrasound imaging, characterized by high frame rates, generates low-quality images. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated great potential to enhance image quality without compromising the frame rate. However, CNNs have been most ...

Uncovering a population of gravitational lens galaxies with magnified standard candle SN Zwicky

Johan Richard, Johannes Richard Cornelis Geerit Kruis, Rémy Elie Joseph, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

Detecting gravitationally lensed supernovae is among the biggest challenges in astronomy. It involves a combination of two very rare phenomena: catching the transient signal of a stellar explosion in a distant galaxy and observing it through a nearly perfe ...

Constraints on the Hubble constant from supernova Refsdal's reappearance

Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Mathilde Jauzac, Anja Von der Linden

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 ...

Disentangling 1/f noise from confined ion dynamics

Théo Denis Tobias Emmerich

Ion transport through biological and solid-state nanochannels is known to be a highly noisy process. The power spectrum of current fluctuations is empirically known to scale like the inverse of frequency, following the long-standing yet poorly understood H ...

Distributionally Robust Linear Quadratic Control

Daniel Kuhn, Cagil Kocyigit, Bahar Taskesen

Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control is a fundamental control paradigm that is studied in various fields such as engineering, computer science, economics, and neuroscience. It involves controlling a system with linear dynamics and imperfect observations ...

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

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

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 Highly Magnified Gravitationally Lensed Red QSO at z = 2.5 with a Significant Flux Ratio Anomaly

Hung-Hsu Chan

We present the discovery of a gravitationally lensed dust-reddened QSO at z = 2.517, identified in a survey for QSOs by infrared selection. Hubble Space Telescope imaging reveals a quadruply lensed system in a cusp configuration, with a maximum image separ ...
