Strong gravitational lensing and the SKA
I examine the current state of knowledge about galaxy-scale gravitational lenses and their uses to determine mass distributions in galaxies. I discuss the use of the Square Kilometre Array as a lens-finding machine and its possible areas of scientific impact. 1. Current progress in strong gravitational lensing “Strong” gravitational lensing refers to multiple imaging of a background object by a...
متن کاملStrong Gravitational Lensing and Dark Energy Complementarity
In the search for the nature of dark energy most cosmological probes measure simple functions of the expansion rate. While powerful, these all involve roughly the same dependence on the dark energy equation of state parameters, with anticorrelation between its present value w0 and time variation wa. Quantities that have instead positive correlation and so a sensitivity direction largely orthogo...
متن کاملCosmological constraints from strong gravitational lensing in clusters of galaxies.
Current efforts in observational cosmology are focused on characterizing the mass-energy content of the universe. We present results from a geometric test based on strong lensing in galaxy clusters. Based on Hubble Space Telescope images and extensive ground-based spectroscopic follow-up of the massive galaxy cluster Abell 1689, we used a parametric model to simultaneously constrain the cluster...
متن کاملSimulations of Strong Gravitational Lensing with Substructure
Galactic sized gravitational lenses are simulated by combining a cosmological N-body simulation and models for the baryonic component of the galaxy. The lens caustics, critical curves, image locations and magnification ratios are calculated by ray-shooting on an adaptive grid. It is found that the simulations do not cause the observed number of violations of the cusp caustic magnification relat...
متن کاملGravitational Shear, Flexion and Strong Lensing
We present a gravitational lensing analysis of the galaxy cluster Abell 1689, incorporating measurements of the weak shear, flexion, and strong lensing induced in background galaxies. This is the first time that a shapelet technique has been used to reconstruct the distribution of mass in this cluster, and the first time that a flexion signal has been measured using cluster members as lenses. F...
