Discovery of two gravitationally lensed quasars in the Dark Energy Survey
(2015) [Artigo de periódico]We present spectroscopic confirmation of two new gravitationally lensed quasars, discovered in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) based on their multiband photometry and extended ... -
On the accuracy of the perturbative approach for strong lensing : local distortion for pseudo-elliptical models
(2013) [Artigo de periódico]The perturbative approach (PA) introduced by Alard provides analytic solutions for gravitational arcs by solving the lens equation linearized around the Einstein ring solution. This is a powerful method for lens inversion ... -
A simple prescription for simulating and characterizing gravitational arcs
(2013) [Artigo de periódico]Simple models of gravitational arcs are crucial for simulating large samples of these objects with full control of the input parameters. These models also provide approximate and automated estimates of the shape and structure ... -
The DES Bright Arcs Survey : hundreds of candidate strongly lensed galaxy systems from the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification and Year 1 observations
(2017) [Artigo de periódico]We report the results of searches for strong gravitational lens systems in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification and Year 1 observations. The Science Verification data span approximately 250 sq. deg. with a ... -
The SDSS-III BOSS quasar lens survey : discovery of 13 gravitationally lensed quasars
(2016) [Artigo de periódico]We report the discovery of 13 confirmed two-image quasar lenses from a systematic search for gravitationally lensed quasars in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). We adopted a methodology similar ... -
The SOAR Gravitational Arc Survey – I. Survey overview and photometric catalogues
(2013) [Artigo de periódico]We present the first results of the SOAR (Southern Astrophysical Research) Gravitational Arc Survey (SOGRAS). The survey imaged 47 clusters in two redshift intervals centred at z = 0.27 and z = 0.55, targeting the richest ...
