Gravitational lensing statistics and constraints on the cosmological constant revisited
We re-analyze constraints on the cosmological constant that can be obtained by examining the statistics of strong gravitational lensing of distant quasars by intervening galaxies, focusing on on uncertainties in galaxy models (including velocity dispersion, luminosity functions, core radii and magnification bias effects) and on the parameters of the galaxy distribution and luminosity functions....
متن کاملGravitational Lensing and Tests of the Cosmological Constant
The case for a flat Cold Dark Matter model with a positive cosmological constant Λ has been recently strongly advocated by some theoreticians. In this paper we give the observers point of view to the light of the most recent observations with a special emphasis on lensing tests. We confirm the apparent cosmic concordance for a flat Universe with ΩΛ close to 0.6 but we note that a low mass densi...
متن کاملNew Limits on a Cosmological Constant from Statistics of Gravitational Lensing
We present new limits on cosmological parameters from the statistics of gravitational lensing, based on the recently revised knowledge of the luminosity function and internal dynamics of E/S0 galaxies that are essential in lensing high-redshift QSOs. We find that the lens models using updated Schechter parameters for such galaxies, derived from the recent redshift surveys combined with morpholo...
متن کاملOn the influence of the cosmological constant on gravitational lensing in small systems
The cosmological constant Λ affects gravitational lensing phenomena. Following a study of the equations of motion of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric in the weak deflection limit, the contribution of Λ to the observable angular positions of multiple images and to their amplification and time delay is computed. Due to Λ the unresolved images are slightly demagnified, the radius of the Einstein...
متن کاملBraneworld Flattening by a Cosmological Constant
We present a model with an infinite volume bulk in which a braneworld with a cosmological constant evolves to a static, 4-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. This evolution occurs for a generic class of initial conditions with positive energy densities. The metric everywhere outside the brane is that of a 5-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, where the effect of the brane is the creation of a frame w...
