Galaxy Number Counts and Implications for Strong Lensing
We compare galaxy number counts in Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) fields containing moderate-redshift (0.2 < z < 1.0) strong gravitational lenses with those in two comparison samples: (1) the first square degree of the COSMOS survey, comprising 259 ACS fields and (2) 20 “pure parallel” fields randomly located on the sky. Through a Bayesian analysis we determine the expectation values (μ0) an...
متن کاملThe Bolocam Lockman Hole Millimeter-Wave Galaxy Survey: Galaxy Candidates and Number Counts
We present results of a new deep 1.1 mm survey using Bolocam, a millimeterwavelength bolometer array camera designed for mapping large fields at fast scan rates, without chopping. A map, galaxy candidate list, and derived number counts are presented. This survey encompasses 324 arcmin to an rms noise level (filtered for point sources) of σ1.1mm ≃ 1.4 mJy beam and includes the entire regions sur...
متن کاملGravitational Lensing at Millimeter Wavelengths
The study of gas and dust at high redshift gives an unbiased view of star formation in obscured objects as well as the chemical evolution history of galaxies. With today’s millimeter and submillimeter instruments observers use gravitational lensing mostly as a tool to boost the sensitivity when observing distant objects. This is evident through the dominance of gravitationally lensed objects am...
متن کاملConstraining Galaxy Mass Profiles with Strong Gravitational Lensing
Measured time delays between the images of a gravitationally lensed source can lead to a determination of the Hubble constant (Ho), but only if the lensing mass distribution is well understood. The inability to sufficiently constrain galaxy mass models results in large uncertainties on the derived Ho, and severely hampers the cosmological application of this otherwise elegant method. At the sam...
متن کاملCosmography with strong lensing of LISA gravitational wave sources
Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) might detect gravitational waves from mergers of massive black hole binaries strongly lensed by intervening galaxies. The detection of multiple gravitational lensing events would provide a new tool for cosmography. Constraints on cosmological parameters could be placed by exploiting either lensing statistics of strongly lensed sources or time-delay meas...
