Time-Delay Cosmography: Measuring the Hubble Constant and other cosmological parameters with strong gravitational lensing

S Birrer, M Millon, D Sluse, AJ Shajib, F Courbin… - Space Science …, 2024 - Springer
Multiply lensed images of a same source experience a relative time delay in the arrival of
photons due to the path length difference and the different gravitational potentials the …

Cosmological distance indicators

SH Suyu, TC Chang, F Courbin, T Okumura - Space Science Reviews, 2018 - Springer
We review three distance measurement techniques beyond the local universe:(1)
gravitational lens time delays,(2) baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO), and (3) HI intensity …

A new channel for detecting dark matter substructure in galaxies: gravitational lens time delays

CR Keeton, LA Moustakas - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We show that dark matter substructure in galaxy-scale halos perturbs the time delays
between images in strong gravitational lens systems. The variance of the effect depends on …

COSMOGRAIL: The COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses-I. How to sample the light curves of gravitationally lensed quasars to measure accurate time …

A Eigenbrod, F Courbin, C Vuissoz, G Meylan… - Astronomy & …, 2005 - aanda.org
We use numerical simulations to test a broad range of plausible observational strategies
designed to measure the time delay between the images of gravitationally lensed quasars …

The importance of lens galaxy environments

CR Keeton, AI Zabludoff - The Astrophysical Journal, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
It is suspected that many strong gravitational lens galaxies lie in poor groups or rich clusters
of galaxies, which modify the lens potentials. Unfortunately, little is actually known about the …

We present a detailed strong lensing analysis of a Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced
Camera for Surveys legacy data set for the first gravitational lens, Q0957+ 561. With deep …

Quasar microlensing

RW Schmidt, J Wambsganss - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2010 - Springer
Quasar microlensing deals with the effect of compact objects along the line of sight on the
apparent brightness of the background quasars. Due to the relative motion between quasar …

Part 4: gravitational microlensing

J Wambsganss - Saas-fee advanced course 33: gravitational lensing …, 2006 - Springer
Gravitational Microlensing can be thought of as a version of strong gravitational lensing in
which the image separation is too small to be resolved. Multiple images are formed, but their …

Observations supporting the existence of an intrinsic magnetic moment inside the central compact object within the quasar Q0957+ 561

RE Schild, DJ Leiter, SL Robertson - The Astronomical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent brightness fluctuation and autocorrelation analysis of time series data and
microlensing size scales, seen in Q0957+ 561A and B, have produced important information …

Gravitational microlensing

J Wambsganss - 2006 - books.google.com
Gravitational microlensing deals with the deflection of light by stellar mass objects. The
deflection angles are tiny (of the order of milliarcseconds or smaller), so that multiple images …
