The X-ray Properties of Moderate-redshift Galaxy Groups Selected by Association with Gravitational Lenses
We present results from a systematic investigation of the X-ray properties of a sample of moderate redshift (0.3 < z < 0.6) galaxy groups. These groups were selected not by traditional X-ray or optical search methods, but rather by an association, either physical or along the line of sight, with a strong gravitational lens. We calculate the properties of seven galaxy groups in the fields of six...
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 کاملGravitational Interactions in Poor Galaxy Groups
We report the results of the spatial analysis of deep ROSAT HRI observations, optical imaging and spectroscopy, and high–resolution VLA H I and continuum imaging of NGC 1961 and NGC 2276. These spirals were selected as showing some previous evidence for interaction with a surrounding (hot) diffuse medium. Our results favor most aspects of these galaxies as being shaped by gravitational interact...
متن کاملQSO lensing magnification associated with galaxy groups
We simulated both the matter and light (galaxy) distributions in a wedge of the universe and calculated the gravitational lensing magnification caused by the mass along the line of sight of galaxies and galaxy groups identified in sky surveys. A large volume redshift cone containing cold dark matter particles mimics the expected cosmological matter distribution in a flat universe with low matte...
متن کاملGravitational Lenses
Gravitational lenses are becoming a precious mean of probing the matter distribution in the Universe. From the search of matter in the Galactic halo to the study of the large-scale structures of the Universe, the gravitational lens effects offer a unique alternative to light surveys and are now widely used. This evolution is due in particular to the use of new observation devices, such as the w...
