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 ...

Optimal reconstruction of baryon acoustic oscillations for DESI 2024

Jiaxi Yu

Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) provide a robust standard ruler to measure the expansion history of the Universe through galaxy clustering. Density-field reconstruction is now a widely adopted procedure for increasing the precision and accuracy of the B ...

Spectral Templates Optimal for Selecting Galaxies at z > 8 with the JWST

Michaela Hirschmann

The selection of high-redshift galaxies often involves spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to photometric data, an expectation for contamination levels, and measurement of sample completeness-all vetted through comparison to spectroscopic redshift m ...

Testing the evolution of correlations between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies using eight strongly lensed quasars

Aymeric Alexandre Galan

One of the main challenges in using high-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to study the correlations between the mass of a supermassive black hole (M-BH) and the properties of its active host galaxy is instrumental resolution. Strong lensing magnifica ...
