Polarisation Observations of Gravitational Lenses
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present multi-frequency VLA polarisation observations of nine gravitational lenses. The aim of these observations was to determine Faraday rotation measures (RM) for the individual lensed images, and to measure their continuum spectra over a wide range of frequencies.

Milliarcsec - scale polarisation observations of the gravitational lens B 1422 + 231
We present polarisation observations of the gravitational lens system B1422+231 made at 8.4 GHz using the VLBA and the 100m telescope at Effelsberg. All four images of the quasar show structure on the milliarcsec scale. The three bright images show tangential stretching as expected from lens models. Some basic properties of gravitational lensing are exhibited by this system. The surface brightn...

متن کاملThe Effects of Massive Substructures on Image Multiplicities in Gravitational Lenses
Surveys for gravitational lens systems have typically found a significantly larger fraction of lenses with four (or more) images than are predicted by standard ellipsoidal lens models (50% versus 25-30%). We show that including the effects of smaller satellite galaxies, with an abundance normalized by the observations, significantly increases the expected number of systems with more than two im...

متن کاملCosmic Microwave Background Fluctuations from Gravitational Waves: An Analytic Approach
We develop an analytic approach to calculation of the temperature and polarisation power spectra of the cosmic microwave background due to inflationary gravitational waves. This approach complements the more precise numerical results by providing insight into the physical origins of the features in the power spectra. We explore the use of analytic approximations for the gravitational-wave evolu...
