1. Strongly lensed supernovae, the past and the future : lecture at the University of Cambridge, 26. 6. 2024Tanja Petrushevska, 2024, predavanje na tuji univerzi Opis: The searches and observations of supernovae (SNe) have been motivated by the fact that they are exceptionally useful for various astrophysical and cosmological applications. Most prominently, Type Ia SNe (SNe Ia) have been used as distance indicators showing that the expansion rate of the Universe is accelerating. The strong gravitational lensing effect provides another powerful tool and occurs when a foreground mass distribution is located along the line of sight to a background source. It can happen so that galaxies and galaxy clusters can act as “gravitational telescopes”, boosting the faint signals from distant SNe and galaxies. Thanks to the magnification boost provided by the gravitational telescope, we are able to probe galaxies and SNe that otherwise would be undetectable. Therefore, the combination of the two tools, SNe and strong lensing, in the single phenomenon of strongly lensed SNe, provides a powerful simultaneous probe of several cosmological and astrophysical phenomena. By measuring the time delays of strongly lensed supernovae and having a high-quality strong lensing model of the galaxy cluster, it is possible to measure the Hubble constant with competitive precision. In this talk, I will present some of the past and recent results that have been possible due to the observations of strongly lensed supernovae and anticipate what we can expect in the future from the upcoming telescope surveys, such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and Nancy G. Roman Space Telescope.

4. Cluster-lensed supernovae with the Roman Space Telescope and Vera Rubin observatoryMateusz Bronikowski, Tanja Petrushevska, Justin Pierel, 2022, objavljeni povzetek znanstvenega prispevka na konferenci Opis: I will present our current efforts to enable the use of strongly lensed supernovae behind galaxy clusters as powerful tools to tackle several open questions in astrophysics and cosmology. As a preparatory task, we are collecting all available gravitational telescopes into a database, and estimating the properties of all reported multiply-imaged galaxies behind clusters. We are building a tool that will enable accurate estimates of cluster-lensed supernova yields for a given survey. In addition, we are developing the methods to extract the cosmological parameters from cluster-lensed supernovae in the Rubin and Roman data.

5. Prospects for Strongly Lensed Supernovae Behind Hubble FrontierFields Galaxy Clusters with the James Webb Space TelescopeTanja Petrushevska, 2018, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Measuring time delays from strongly lensed supernovae (SNe) is emerging as a novel andindependent tool for estimating the Hubble constant (H0). This is very important given the recent discordin the value of H0) from two methods that probe different distance ranges. The success of this techniquewill rely of our ability to discover strongly lensed SNe with measurable time delays. Here, we present themagnifications and the time delay s for the multiply-imaged galaxies behind the Hubble Frontier Fields(HFF) galaxy clusters, by using recently published lensing models. Continuing on our previous work donefor Abell 1689 (A1689) and Abell 370, we also show the prospects of observing strongly lensed SNe behindthe HFF clusters with the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). With four 1-hour visits inone year, the summed expectations of all six HFF clusters are ∼0 .5 core-collapse (CC) SNe and 0.06Type Ia SNe (SNe Ia) in F115W band, while with F150W the expectations are higher, ∼0.9 CC SNeand ∼0.06 SNe Ia. These estimates match those expected by only surveying A1689, proving that theperformance of A1689 as gravitational telescope is superior. In the five HFF clusters presented here, wefind that F150W will be able to detect SNe Ia (SNe IIP) exploding in 93 (80) pairs multiply-imaged galaxieswith time delays of less than 5 years.

6. Prospects for lensed supernovae behind galaxy clusters with the James Webb Space TelescopeTanja Petrushevska, 2018, objavljeni povzetek znanstvenega prispevka na konferenci Opis: Galaxies, and clusters of galaxies, can act as gravitational lenses and magnify the light of
objects behind them. The effect enables observations of very distant supernovae, that
otherwise would be too faint to be detected by existing telescopes, and allows studies of
the frequency and properties of these rare phenomena when the universe was young.
Under the right circumstances, multiple images of the lensed supernovae can be
observed, and due to the variable nature of the objects, the difference between the arrival
times of the images can be measured. Since the images have taken different paths
through space before reaching us, the time-differences are sensitive to the expansion rate
of the universe. One class of supernovae, Type Ia, are of particular interest to detect. Their
well known brightness can be used to determine the magnification, which can be used to
understand the lensing systems. I will also report our discovery of the first resolved
multiply-imaged gravitationally lensed supernova Type Ia. I will also show the expectations
of search campaigns that can be conducted with future facilities, such as the James Webb
Space Telescope (JWST) or the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST). Ključne besede: Strong lensing, Hubble constant, measuring expansion history with time delays, lensed supernovae Objavljeno v RUNG: 09.07.2018; Ogledov: 4486; Prenosov: 141 Celotno besedilo (4,14 MB) |
