Time-delay estimation in unresolved lensed quasars

Georgios Vernardos

Time-delay cosmography can be used to infer the Hubble parameter H-0 by measuring the relative time delays between multiple images of gravitationally lensed quasars. A few of such systems have already been used to measure H-0: Their time delays were determ ...

Strong lensing in UNIONS: Toward a pipeline from discovery to modeling

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

We present a search for galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses in the initial 2500 square degrees of the Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS). We designed a convolutional neural network (CNN) committee that we applied to a selection of 2 344 002 r-band im ...

Next generation modeling techniques for strong gravitational lensing and measuring the Hubble constant

Aymeric Alexandre Galan

For many years, observations of the Universe suggest a series problems with our theoretical models, particularly its dark energy and dark matter components. Fortunately, the Universe also provides us with a tool to solve these problems, called strong gravi ...

Constraining quasar structure using high-frequency microlensing variations and continuum reverberation

Frédéric Courbin, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Georgios Vernardos, Martin Raoul Robert Millon

Gravitational microlensing is a powerful tool for probing the inner structure of strongly lensed quasars and for constraining parameters of the stellar mass function of lens galaxies. This is achieved by analysing microlensing light curves between the mult ...

Teaching machines how to find strongly lensed galaxies in cosmological sky surveys

Elodie Marie Charlène Savary

Analyzing gravitationally lensed objects enables a wide range of physical and cosmological applications, such as probing the dark matter content in galaxies and clusters or measuring the Universe's expansion rate. The precision of these applications can be ...

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

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

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 ...

Simulating time-varying strong lenses

Georgios Vernardos

We present a self-consistent and versatile forward modelling software package that can produce time series and pixel-level simulations of time-varying strongly lensed systems. The time dimension, which needs to take into account different physical mechanis ...

The very knotty lenser: Exploring the role of regularization in source and potential reconstructions using Gaussian process regression

Georgios Vernardos

Reconstructing lens potentials and lensed sources can easily become an underconstrained problem, even when the degrees of freedom are low, due to degeneracies, particularly when potential perturbations superimposed on a smooth lens are included. Regulariza ...

ShapePipe: A new shape measurement pipeline and weak-lensing application to UNIONS/CFIS data

Jean-Luc Starck, Austin Chandler Peel

Context. The Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS) is an ongoing collaboration that will provide the largest deep photometric survey of the northern sky in four optical bands to date. As part of this collaboration, the Canada-France Im ...

Time-delay Cosmography with Strongly Lensed Quasars

Martin Raoul Robert Millon

The LCDM model has emerged as the concordance model of cosmology for its ability to explain a variety of observations, ranging from the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) to the accelerated expansion of the Universe. However, with the ev ...

SLITRONOMY: Towards a fully wavelet-based strong lensing inversion technique

Frédéric Courbin, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Austin Chandler Peel, Rémy Elie Joseph

Strong gravitational lensing provides a wealth of astrophysical information on the baryonic and dark matter content of galaxies. It also serves as a valuable cosmological probe by allowing us to measure the Hubble constant independently of other methods. T ...

Measuring accretion disk sizes of lensed quasars with microlensing time delay in multi-band light curves

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

Time-delay cosmography in strongly lensed quasars offers an independent way of measuring the Hubble constant, H-0. However, it has been proposed that the combination of microlensing and source-size effects, also known as microlensing time delay, can potent ...
