The Hubble Constant from (CLASS) Gravitational Lenses

One of the main objectives of the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) collaboration has been to find gravitational lens (GL) systems at radio wavelengths that are suitable for the determination of time delays between image pairs. The survey is now near completion and at least 18 GL systems have been found. Here, I will discuss our efforts to measure time delays from several of these systems with...

Scaling the universe: gravitational lenses and the Hubble constant.

Gravitational lenses, besides being interesting in their own right, have been demonstrated to be suitable as "gravitational standard rulers" for the measurement of the rate of expansion of the Universe (Ho), as well as to constrain the values of the cosmological parameters such as Omegao and Lambdao that control the evolution of the volume of the Universe with cosmic time.

The Hubble Constant from the Gravitational Lens

We present a refined gravitational lens model of the four-image lens system B1608+656 based on new and improved observational constraints: (i) the three independent time-delays and flux-ratios from Very Large Array (VLA) observations, (ii) the radio-image positions from Very Large Baseline Array (VLBA) observations, (iii) the shape of the deconvolved Einstein Ring from optical and infrared Hubb...

The Hubble Constant from gravitational lens CLASS B0218+357 using the Advanced Camera for Surveys

We present deep optical observations of the gravitational lens system CLASS B0218+357 from which we derive an estimate for the Hubble Constant (H0) Extensive radio observations using the VLA, MERLIN, the VLBA and VLBI have reduced the degeneracies between H0 and the mass model parameters in this lens to one involving only the position of the radioquiet lensing galaxy with respect to the lensed ...

The Hubble Constant from Gravitational Lens Time Delays

There are now 10 firm time delay measurements in gravitational lenses. The physics of time delays is well understood, and the only important variable for interpreting the time delays to determine H0 is the mean surface mass density 〈κ〉 (in units of the critical density for gravitational lensing) of the lens galaxy at the radius of the lensed images. More centrally concentrated mass distribution...
