Determination of Lens Mass Density Profile from Strongly Lensed Gravitational-wave Signals

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
As the interferometers detecting gravitational waves are upgraded, improving their sensitivity, the probability of observing strong lensing increases. Once a detection is made, it will be critical to gain as much information as possible about the lensing

On the detection and precise localisation of merging black holes events through strong gravitational lensing [PDF]

, 2022
To unlock the full spectrum of astrophysical and cosmological applications of gravitational-wave detections, it is essential to localise the associated black-hole mergers to high precision inside their host galaxies.

A New Way to Explore Cosmological Tensions Using Gravitational Waves and Strong Gravitational Lensing [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2021
In recent years, a crisis in the standard cosmology has been caused by inconsistencies in the measurements of some key cosmological parameters, the Hubble constant H 0 and cosmic curvature parameter Ω K , for example.

Identification of Galaxy–Galaxy Strong Lens Candidates in the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey Using Machine Learning

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We perform a search for galaxy–galaxy strong lens systems using a convolutional neural network (CNN) applied to imaging data from the first public data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey, which contains ∼520 million astronomical sources

Galaxy-scale Test of General Relativity with Strong Gravitational Lensing [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2021
Although general relativity (GR) has been precisely tested at the solar system scale, precise tests at a galactic or cosmological scale are still relatively insufficient.

Detecting and Characterizing Young Quasars. III. The Impact of Gravitational Lensing Magnification

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We test the impact of gravitational lensing on the lifetime estimates of seven high-redshift quasars at redshift z ≳ 6. The targeted quasars are identified by their small observed proximity zone sizes, which indicate extremely short quasar lifetimes ( t ...

deeplenstronomy: A dataset simulation package for strong gravitational lensing [PDF]

Journal of Open Source Software, 2021
Automated searches for strong gravitational lensing in optical imaging survey datasets often employ machine learning and deep learning approaches. These techniques require more example systems to train the algorithms than have presently been discovered ...

DeepZipper. II. Searching for Lensed Supernovae in Dark Energy Survey Data with Deep Learning

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Gravitationally lensed supernovae (LSNe) are important probes of cosmic expansion, but they remain rare and difficult to find. Current cosmic surveys likely contain 5–10 LSNe in total while next-generation experiments are expected to contain several ...
