Strongly lensed SNe Ia in the era of LSST: observing cadence for lens discoveries and time-delay measurements

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Hung-Hsu Chan

The upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will detect many strongly lensed Type Ia supernovae (LSNe Ia) for time-delay cosmography. This will provide an independent and direct way for measuring the Hubble constant H0, which is necessary to addres ...

Weak-lensing shear measurement with machine learning Teaching artificial neural networks about feature noise

Malte Tewes, Frédéric Courbin, Thibault Adrien Kuntzer, Nicolai Hildebrandt

Cosmic shear, that is weak gravitational lensing by the large-scale matter structure of the Universe, is a primary cosmological probe for several present and upcoming surveys investigating dark matter and dark energy, such as Euclid or WFIRST. The probe re ...

Impact of the 3D source geometry on time-delay measurements of lensed type-Ia supernovae

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Elodie Marie Charlène Savary, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Olga Tihhonova, Hung-Hsu Chan

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 ...

Quasi-stellar objects acting as potential strong gravitational lenses in the SDSS-III BOSS survey

Frédéric Courbin, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac

We present a sample of 12 quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) that potentially act as strong gravitational lenses on background emission line galaxies (ELG) or Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) selected through a systematic search of the 297 301 QSOs in the Sloan Digit ...

H0LiCOW-IX. Cosmographic analysis of the doubly imaged quasar SDSS 1206+4332 and a new measurement of the Hubble constant

Georges Meylan, Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Riccardo Agnello, Hung-Hsu Chan, Adriano Agnello

We present a blind time-delay strong lensing (TDSL) cosmographic analysis of the doubly imaged quasar SDSS 1206+4332. We combine the relative time delay between the quasar images, Hubble Space Telescope imaging, the Keck stellar velocity dispersion of the ...

Sparse Lens Inversion Technique (SLIT): lens and source separability from linear inversion of the source reconstruction problem

Frédéric Courbin, Rémy Elie Joseph

Strong gravitational lensing offers a wealth of astrophysical information on the background source it affects, provided the lensed source can be reconstructed as if it was seen in the absence of lensing. In the present work, we illustrate how sparse optimi ...

A SHARP view of H0LiCOW: H-0 from three time-delay gravitational lens systems with adaptive optics imaging

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Hung-Hsu Chan

We present the measurement of the Hubble constant, H-0, with three strong gravitational lens systems, We describe a blind analysis of both PG 1115+080 and 11E0435-1223 as well as an extension of our previous analysis of RXJ 1131-1231. For each lens, we com ...

COSMOGRAIL XVII. Time delays for the quadruply imaged quasar PG 1115+080

Malte Tewes, Georges Meylan, Frédéric Courbin, Sun Hee Kim, Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Hung-Hsu Chan, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate

We present time-delay estimates for the quadruply imaged quasar PG 1115+080. Our results are based on almost daily observations for seven months at the ESO MPIA 2.2m telescope at La Silla Observatory, reaching a signal-to-noise ratio of about 1000 per quas ...

Constraining the microlensing effect on time delays with a new time-delay prediction model in H-0 measurements

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Hung-Hsu Chan, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate

Time-delay strong lensing provides a unique way to directly measure the Hubble constant (H-0). The precision of the H-0 measurement depends on the uncertainties in the time-delay measurements, the mass distribution of the main deflector(s), and the mass di ...
