Gravitational 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 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...
متن کاملEffects of Disks on Gravitational Lensing by Spiral Galaxies
Gravitational lensing of a quasar by a spiral galaxy should often be accompanied by damped Lyα absorption and dust extinction due to the intervening gaseous disk. In nearly edge-on configurations, the surface mass density of the gas and stars in the disk could by itself split the quasar image and contribute significantly to the overall lensing cross section. We calculate the lensing probability...
متن کاملEffects of Dust on Gravitational Lensing by Spiral Galaxies
Gravitational lensing of an optical QSO by a spiral galaxy is often counteracted by dust obscuration, since the line-of-sight to the QSO passes close to the center of the galactic disk. The dust in the lens is likely to be correlated with neutral hydrogen, which in turn should leave a Lyα absorption signature on the QSO spectrum. We use the estimated dust-to-gas ratio of the Milky–Way galaxy as...
متن کاملGravitational Lensing of Quasars by Edge-On Spiral Galaxies
In this thesis, I studied the lensed quasar CX2201-3201, which is lensed by an edgeon spiral galaxy. The unusually high tilt of the spiral galaxy provides us with a rare opportunity for mass modeling. In addition, the unusual placement of the two visible images of the system offers an intriguing lensing system for study-the two images straddle the lensing galaxy's visible disk, but are off to o...
