A SHARP view of H0LiCOW: H0 from three time-delay gravitational lens systems with adaptive optics imaging [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 We present the measurement of the Hubble constant, H0, with three strong gravitational lens systems. We describe a blind analysis of both PG 1115+080 and HE 0435−1223 as well as an extension of our previous analysis of RXJ 1131−1231.

Enhanced surface plasmon resonance absorption in metal-dielectric-metal layered microspheres
, 2006 We present a theoretical study of the dispersion relation of surface plasmon resonances of mesoscopic metal-dielectric-metal microspheres. By analyzing the solutions to Maxwell's equations, we obtain a simple geometric condition for which the system ...
