Gravitational lensing by elliptical galaxies
The fraction of high-redshift sources which are multiply-imaged by intervening galaxies is strongly dependent on the cosmological constant, and so can be a useful probe of the cosmological model. However its power is limited by various systematic (and random) uncertainties in the calculation of lensing probabilities, one of the most important of which is the dynamical normalisation of elliptica...
متن کاملGravitational Lensing By Spiral Galaxies
We study gravitational lensing by spiral galaxies, using realistic models consisting of halo, disk, and bulge components combined to produce a flat rotation curve. Proper dynamical normalization of the models is critical because a disk requires less mass than a spherical halo to produce the same rotation curve—a face-on Mestel disk has a lensing cross section only 41% as large as a singular iso...
متن کاملGravitational Lensing and Elliptical Galaxies
The probability that high-redshift quasars are gravitationally-lensed by intervening galaxies increases rapidly with the cosmological constant, ΩΛ0 (whilst being only weakly dependent on the density parameter, Ωm0), and the low number of lenses observed implies that ΩΛ0 ∼< 0.7 (e.g. Kochanek 1996). One of many uncertainties has been the (small) core radii of elliptical galaxies, which, at least...
متن کاملHalo Structures of Gravitational Lens Galaxies
We explore the halo structure of four gravitational lenses with well-observed, thin Einstein rings. We find that the gravitational potentials are well described by ellipsoidal density distributions in the sense that the best-fit nonellipsoidal models have parameters consistent with their ellipsoidal counterparts. We find upper limits on the standard parameters for the deviation from an ellipse ...
متن کاملGravitational Lensing and Cluster of Galaxies
This is a non exhaustive list of favorite terms used when using gravitational lensing in clusters of galaxies. I will introduce here lensing in clusters as a useful tool in modern observational cosmology. I will give a summary of what we are learning in terms of cluster mass distribution in the strong and weak regime, and what information we will gain in terms of the cluster physics. I will und...
