Gravitational Lens Image Separations Versus Redshift as a Cosmological Test
It has recently been noted by Park & Gott (1997) that there is a statistically significant negative correlation between gravitational lens image separations and source redshifts. This negative correlation is puzzling since is cannot be explained with any realistic models both in flat and open cosmologies, while ususal lens statistics, such as number density and distribution of image separation,...
متن کاملA Measurement of the Cosmological Constant Using Elliptical Galaxies as Strong Gravitational Lenses
We have identified seven (field) elliptical galaxies acting as strong gravitational lenses and have used them to measure cosmological parameters. To find the most likely value for Ωm (= Ωmatter) and Λ, we have used the combined probabilities of these lens systems having the observed critical radii (or image deflection) for the measured or estimated values of lens redshifts, source redshifts, an...
متن کاملCosmological parameters and the redshift distribution of gravitational lenses
For known gravitational lens systems the redshift distribution of the lenses is compared with theoretical expectations for 10 4 Friedmann-Lemâ tre cosmological models, which more than cover the range of possible cases. The comparison is used for assigning a relative probability to each of the models. The entire procedure is repeated for di erent values of the inhomogeneity parameter and the lim...
متن کاملCOSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses IV. Models of prospective time-delay lenses
Aims. To predict time delays for a sample of gravitationally lensed quasars and to evaluate the accuracy that can be realistically achieved on the value of H0. Methods. We consider 14 lensed quasars that are candidates for time-delay monitoring and model them in detail using pixelized lens models. For each system, we provide a mass map, arrival-time surface and the distribution of predicted tim...
متن کاملSpiral galaxies as oblate gravitational lenses
Spiral galaxies as oblate gravitational lenses. ABSTRACT We present the relation between the density distribution of the oblate isothermal mass distribution, characterised by a rotation velocity, core radius and oblateness, and the corresponding line-of-sight (LOS) surface mass distribution. We find that a correct treatment of the inclination of an oblate mass distribution can have large conseq...
