Lensperfect: Gravitational Lens Massmap Reconstructions Yielding Exact Reproduction of All Multiple Images
We present a new approach to gravitational lens massmap reconstruction. Our massmap solutions perfectly reproduce the positions, fluxes, and shears of all multiple images. And each massmap accurately recovers the underlying mass distribution to a resolution limited by the number of multiple images detected. We demonstrate our technique given a mock galaxy cluster similar to Abell 1689 which gra...
متن کاملExact reproduction of colored images
The problem of producing a colored image from a colored original is analyzed. Conditions are determined for the production of an image in which the colors cannot be distinguished form those in the original by a human observer. If the final image is produced by superposition of controlled amounts of colored lights, only a simple linear transform need be applied to the outputs of the image sensor...
متن کاملInvestigation of Gravitational Lens Mass Models
We have previously reported the discovery of strong gravitational lensing by faint elliptical galaxies using the WFPC2 on HST and here we investigate their potential usefulness in putting constraints on lens mass models. We compare various ellipsoidal surface mass distributions, including those with and without a core radius, as well as models in which the mass distributions are assumed to have...
متن کاملGravitational Quadruple Lens Produce 17 images ?
Gravitational lensing can be by a faint star, a trillion stars of a galaxy, or a cluster of galaxies, and this poses a familiar struggle between particle method and mean field method. In a bottom-up approach, a puzzle has been laid on whether a quadruple lens can produce 17 images. The number of images is governed by the gravitational lens equation, and the equation for n-tuple lenses suggests ...
متن کاملNICMOS images of JVAS/CLASS gravitational lens systems
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) infrared images of four gravitational lens systems from the JVAS/CLASS gravitational lens survey and compare the new infrared HST pictures with previously published WFPC2 HST optical images and radio maps. Apart from the wealth of information that we get from the flux ratios and accurate positions and separations of the components of the lens systems that...
