On a model of variable curvature that mimics the observed Universe acceleration

Autor: Esteban-Gutiérrez, A., García-Aspeitia, Miguel A., Hernández-Almada, A., Magaña, Juan, Motta, V.

We present a new model based on General Relativity in where a subtle change of curvature at late times is able to produce the observed Universe acceleration and an oscillating behavior in the effective equation of state, similar to what has been clai

The ESO public survey VISTA Variables in the V\'ia L\'actea (VVV) surveyed the inner Galactic bulge and the adjacent southern Galactic disk from $2009-2015$. Upon its conclusion, the complementary VVV eXtended (VVVX) survey has expanded both the temp

Quasar Microlensing Statistics and Flux-Ratio Anomalies in Lens Models

Autor: Mediavilla, E., Jiménez-Vicente, J., Motta, V.

Precise lens modeling is a critical step in time delay studies of multiply imaged quasars, which are key for measuring some important cosmological parameters (specially $H_0$). However, lens models (in particular those semi-automatically generated) o

JWST lensed quasar dark matter survey I: Description and First Results

Autor: Nierenberg, A. M., Keeley, R. E., Sluse, D., Gilman, D., Birrer, S., Treu, T., Abazajian, K. N., Anguita, T., Benson, A. J., Bennert, V. N., Djorgovski, S. G., Du, X., Fassnacht, C. D., Hoenig, S. F., Kusenko, A., Lemon, C., Malkan, M., Motta, V., Moustakas, L. A., Stern, D., Wechsler, R. H.

The flux ratios of gravitationally lensed quasars provide a powerful probe of the nature of dark matter. Importantly, these ratios are sensitive to small-scale structure, irrespective of the presence of baryons. This sensitivity may allow us to study

Black Hole masses for 14 gravitational lensed quasars

Publikováno v: A&A 680, A51 (2023)

We estimate black hole masses (M$_{\rm BH}$) for 14 gravitationally lensed quasars using the Balmer lines along with estimates based on MgII and CIV emission lines for four and two of them, respectively. We compare with results obtained for other len
