Cusped Mass Models of Gravitational Lenses
Recent observations of galaxy luminosity profiles and dark matter simulations find luminosity and mass distributions characterized by central cusps rather than finite core radii. We introduce and implement a set of cusped ellipsoidal lens models which include limits similar to the Jaffe, Hernquist, η and NFW models and apply them to the gravitational lenses APM 08279+5255 and B 1933+503. A succ...
متن کاملThe Multi-Band Magnification Bias for Gravitational Lenses
We present a generalization of the concept of magnification bias for gravitationally-lensed quasars, in which the quasars are selected by flux in more than one wavelength band. To illustrate the principle, we consider the case of two-band selection, in which the fluxes in the two bands are uncorrelated, perfectly correlated, or correlated with scatter. For uncorrelated fluxes, we show that the ...
متن کاملBundle method for calculating weak magnification by gravitational lenses
We present here an alternative method for calculating magnifications in gravitational lensing calculations – the Ray Bundle method. We provide a detailed comparison between the distribution of magnifications obtained compared with analytic results and conventional ray-shooting methods. The Ray Bundle method provides high accuracy in the weak lensing limit, and is computationally much faster tha...
متن کاملLens galaxy environments and anomalous flux ratios in gravitational lenses
The fraction of substructures required to account for anomalous flux ratios in gravitational lens systems appears to be higher than that predicted in the standard cold dark matter cosmology. We present a possible alternative route to anomalous flux ratios from lens galaxy environments. We consider the compound lens system such that a lens galaxy lie in a group or cluster, and estimate the contr...
متن کاملFlux Ratios as a Probe of Dark Substructures in Quadruple-image Gravitational Lenses
We demonstrate that the flux ratios of 4-image lensed quasars provide a powerful means of probing the small scale structure of Dark Matter (DM) halos. A family of smooth lens models can precisely predict certain combinations of flux ratios using only the positions of the images and lens as inputs. Using 5 observed lens systems we show that real galaxies cannot be described by smooth singular is...
