Quasar lensing
– quasars lensed by galaxies/clusters/dark objects
– images: 2 to 4
– separation

of 105 SDSS quasars
1000 lens systems plausible from 106 quasars expected

well-defined sample??
– Well-defined selection function needed for statistical
analysis
Statistics of lensing

lensed quasars)
– configuration of lensing

in lensing statistics
mass model of individual galaxy
sample construction
selection effects of surveys
magnification bias
faint sources get brightened and detected
 source distribution in luminosity and z needed

Sloan digital sky survey Quasar
Lens Search (SQLS)
– Algorithm to find lens candidates from
quasars
typical FWHM for SDSS imaging data ≈ 1.”4
 small separation (Δ𝜃 < 2.5“) system

– blended
– morphological selection

large separation (Δ𝜃 > 2.5“) system
– deblended
– color selection

brightness ratio
– Follow-up confirmation
spectroscopic observation
 photometric observation

– SDSS image
– Follow-up imaging

Image Separation Statistics
 한두환
 advantages
& disadvantages
– less sensitive to dark energy
– magnitude bias not required
– source information not needed
 Sample
– 17 SQLS quasars of Δ𝜃 < 2" with source
and lens redshifts
– 76 SQLS quasars with source redshifts
 JVAS
vs SQLS
Curvature test
– mean image separation
– magnitude selection: lens should be bright
enough
– Spearman rank correlation test
for

<Δ𝜃>𝑒𝑥𝑝

– 76 lensed QSOs
Image Separation Test

– lensing probability
– differential probability
– expected vs observed

– generate mock sample from theoretical

Summary
 Lensing

– contains information on cosmology and
galaxies
– need to be careful
