Gravitational lens equation for embedded lenses; magnification and ellipticity

Journal Article Chen, B ; Mathematics Department, University of Oklahoma, 601 Elm Avenue, Norman, Oklahoma 73019 ; Kantowski, R ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We give the lens equation for light deflections caused by point mass condensations in an otherwise spatially homogeneous and flat universe. We assume the signal from a distant source is deflected by a single condensation before it reaches the observer. We call this deflector an embedded lens because the deflecting mass is part of the mean density. The embedded lens equation differs from the conventional lens equation because the deflector mass is not simply an addition to the cosmic mean. We prescribe an iteration scheme to solve this new lens equation and use it to compare our results with standardmore »« less

CHARACTERIZING LENSES AND LENSED STARS OF HIGH-MAGNIFICATION SINGLE-LENS GRAVITATIONAL MICROLENSING EVENTS WITH LENSES PASSING OVER SOURCE STARS

Journal Article Choi, J -Y ; Shin, I -G ; Park, S -Y ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We present the analysis of the light curves of nine high-magnification single-lens gravitational microlensing events with lenses passing over source stars, including OGLE-2004-BLG-254, MOA-2007-BLG-176, MOA-2007-BLG-233/OGLE-2007-BLG-302, MOA-2009-BLG-174, MOA-2010-BLG-436, MOA-2011-BLG-093, MOA-2011-BLG-274, OGLE-2011-BLG-0990/MOA-2011-BLG-300, and OGLE-2011-BLG-1101/MOA-2011-BLG-325. For all of the events, we measure the linear limb-darkening coefficients of the surface brightness profile of source stars by measuring the deviation of the light curves near the peak affected by the finite-source effect. For seven events, we measure the Einstein radii and the lens-source relative proper motions. Among them, five events are found to have Einstein radii of less than 0.2 mas, making the lenses verymore »« less

VLBI observations of the gravitational lens system 0957+561 - structure and relative magnification of the A and B images

Journal Article Gorenstein, M V ; Shapiro, I I ; Bonometti, R J ; ... - Astrophys. J.; (United States)

Gravitationally lensed images of the quasar 0957+561 have been observed at 13 cm wavelength using a six-antenna VLBI array with nearly milliarcsecond resolution. Models of the observed surface brightness distribution of each of the A and B images provide support of the gravitational lens hypothesis. A value of the magnitude of the relative image magnification A/B of 0.64 + or - 0.03 is obtained. 38 references.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS ON INVERSE POLYGON MAPPING TO CALCULATE GRAVITATIONAL LENSING MAGNIFICATION MAPS: OPTIMIZED COMPUTATIONS

Journal Article Mediavilla, E ; Lopez, P ; Mediavilla, T ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We derive an exact solution (in the form of a series expansion) to compute gravitational lensing magnification maps. It is based on the backward gravitational lens mapping of a partition of the image plane in polygonal cells (inverse polygon mapping, IPM), not including critical points (except perhaps at the cell boundaries). The zeroth-order term of the series expansion leads to the method described by Mediavilla et al. The first-order term is used to study the error induced by the truncation of the series at zeroth order, explaining the high accuracy of the IPM even at this low order of approximation.more »« less

Reducing the weak lensing noise for the gravitational wave Hubble diagram using the non-Gaussianity of the magnification distribution

Journal Article Hirata, Christopher M ; Holz, Daniel E ; Cutler, Curt - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Gravitational wave sources are a promising cosmological standard candle because their intrinsic luminosities are determined by fundamental physics (and are insensitive to dust extinction). They are, however, affected by weak lensing magnification due to the gravitational lensing from structures along the line of sight. This lensing is a source of uncertainty in the distance determination, even in the limit of perfect standard candle measurements. It is commonly believed that the uncertainty in the distance to an ensemble of gravitational wave sources is limited by the standard deviation of the lensing magnification distribution divided by the square root of the numbermore »« less
