A Submillimeter Survey of Gravitationally Lensed Quasars
Submillimeter (and in some cases millimeter) wavelength continuum measurements are presented for a sample of 40 active galactic nuclei (probably all quasars) lensed by foreground galaxies. The object of this study is to use the lensing boost, anywhere from ∼ 3 − 20 times, to detect dust emission from more typical AGNs than the extremely luminous ones currently accessible without lensing. The so...
متن کاملGravitationally Lensed Arc Statistics as a Cosmological Probe
We calculate the expected number of gravitationally lensed arcs on the whole sky due to foreground galaxy clusters for different cosmological models. We use the redshift and magnitude distribution for sources in the Hubble Deep Field to describe the background galaxies, and model the foreground galaxy clusters as singular isothermal spheres. We account for the redshift evolution of foreground l...
متن کاملThe Importance of Intergalactic Structure to Gravitationally Lensed Quasars
Image flux ratio anomalies have been attributed to substructures within the gravitational lens and to small mass halos (M < ∼ 10 10 M⊙) in intergalactic space. In this paper, analytic calculations are presented that help in the understanding of how intergalactic halos affect magnification ratios. It is found that intergalactic halos can produce anomalies at a similar level to those that are obs...
متن کاملThe Reddest Quasars II. A gravitationally-lensed FeLoBAL quasar
We report the discovery of a z = 2.65 low-ionization iron broad absorption line quasar, FIRST J100424.9+122922, which is gravitationally-lensed by a galaxy at z ≈ 0.95. The object was discovered as part of a program to find very red quasars by matching the FIRST radio survey with the 2-MASS near-infrared survey. J100424.9+122922 is the second lensed system to be found in this program, suggestin...
متن کاملBroad Iron Emission from Gravitationally Lensed Quasars Observed by Chandra
Recent work has demonstrated the potential of gravitationally lensed quasars to extend measurements of black hole spin out to high redshift with the current generation of X-ray observatories. Here we present an analysis of a large sample of 27 lensed quasars in the redshift range z 1.0 4.5 ≲ ≲ observed with Chandra, utilizing over 1.6 Ms of total observing time, focusing on the rest-frame iron ...
