Optimizing machine learning methods to discover strong gravitational lenses in the deep lens survey

G. C. Keerthi Vasan, Stephen Sheng, Tucker Jones, Chi Po Choi, James Sharpnack

Summary: Machine learning models can significantly improve the search for strong gravitational lenses in imaging surveys. This study evaluates the performance of supervised, semi-supervised, and unsupervised learning algorithms trained with the ResNetV2 neural network architecture in finding strong gravitational lenses in the Deep Lens Survey. The results show that models using semi-supervised learning with data augmentations and GAN-generated images achieve the best performance.

Time delay induced by plasma in strong lens systems

Gennady S. Bisnovatyi-Kogan, Oleg Yu Tsupko

Summary: In this article, we analytically investigate the time delay in the case of gravitational lensing in plasma, focusing on strong lens systems. Various contributions including geometric delay, potential delay, and dispersion delay are taken into account. We consider the singular isothermal sphere as a model for the gravitational lens and the arbitrary spherically symmetric distribution of surrounding plasma. Plasma corrections for the time delay between two images are derived in a compact analytical form convenient for estimates.

Ordering the confusion: a study of the impact of lens models on gravitational-wave strong lensing detection capabilities

Justin Janquart, Anupreeta More, Chris Van Den Broeck

Summary: Gravitational waves can be deflected by massive objects, causing strong lensing effects. The identification of strongly lensed gravitational waves requires searching for events with similar characteristics and using lensing models to reduce background contamination. This study investigates the impact of adding a lens density profile model and potential modeling errors on the false alarm probability. The results show that the inclusion of a lens model is crucial for reducing false alarms and variations in the lens model are tolerable to some extent.

A high-resolution cosmological simulation of a strong gravitational lens

Jack Richings, Carlos Frenk, Adrian Jenkins, Andrew Robertson, Matthieu Schaller

Summary: In this study, a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation of a 10^13 solar mass galaxy group and its environment was conducted using the eagle model, resolving dark matter haloes and subhaloes of mass 5 x 10^6 solar masses. The inclusion of baryons in the simulation resulted in lower amplitude of halo and subhalo mass functions compared to a dark-matter-only counterpart. Viewing direction significantly influences the number of structures within the simulation.

A high-resolution cosmological simulation of a strong gravitational lens

Jack Richings, Carlos Frenk, Adrian Jenkins, Andrew Robertson, Matthieu Schaller

Summary: This study conducted a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation of a 10^13 solar mass galaxy group and found that the amplitude of halo and subhalo mass functions in the hydrodynamical simulation is lower than in its dark-matter-only counterpart. The number of structures varies significantly with viewing direction, with the median number of structures near the center of the halo reduced by a factor of 2 when baryons are included.

James Pearson, Jacob Maresca, Nan Li, Simon Dye

Summary: The study trains a CNN to predict mass profile parameters of galaxy-galaxy gravitational lenses, with significantly lower errors compared to traditional methods, especially when incorporating uncertainties predicted by the CNN. Combining neural networks with conventional techniques can greatly improve accuracy and speed in automated modelling.

Core Mass Estimates in Strong Lensing Galaxy Clusters Using a Single-halo Lens Model

J. D. Remolina Gonzalez, K. Sharon, N. Li, G. Mahler, L. E. Bleem, M. Gladders, A. Niemiec

Summary: The study evaluated the use of a single-halo model as an efficient method to estimate the strong lensing cluster core mass, finding that the projected core mass estimated with this method has a small scatter and bias compared to the true mass. Excluding models that fail visual inspection test can reduce the bias and scatter, while excluding single giant arc configurations can improve the accuracy of the model predictions. When the source redshift is unknown, the model-predicted redshifts are overestimated, underlining the importance of securing spectroscopic redshifts of background sources.

The White Dwarfs of the Old, Solar-metallicity Open Star Cluster Messier 67: Properties and Progenitors*

Paul A. Canton, Kurtis A. Williams, Mukremin Kilic, Michael Bolte

Summary: The study focuses on determining white dwarf masses and their progenitor star masses in the M67 cluster, providing crucial observational data for understanding and interpreting white dwarf populations and evolution. It also establishes the white dwarfs' positions on the initial-final mass relation with average values consistent with previous research, aiding in more precise modeling of the Galactic star formation rate.

The Rapid Rotation of the Strongly Magnetic Ultramassive White Dwarf EGGR 156

Kurtis A. Williams, J. J. Hermes, Zachary P. Vanderbosch

Summary: The distribution of white dwarf rotation periods is important for understanding angular momentum evolution and the remnants of double degenerate mergers. We discovered rapid rotation in the strongly magnetic white dwarf EGGR 156 based on its photometric variability, suggesting it is a remnant of a double degenerate merger. The rate of period change in rapidly-rotating, massive, magnetic white dwarfs can be detectable and may help constrain their structure and evolution.
