光学成像巡天中寻找强星系-星系透镜体的一种方法

A method to search for strong galaxy-galaxy lenses in optical imaging surveys

Jeffrey M. Kubo, Ian P. Dell'Antonio

摘要:

我们提出了一个半自动化的方法来寻找强大的星系星系透镜光学成像调查。我们的搜索技术约束的形状强透镜星系(或弧)在一个多参数空间,其中包括三阶(八极)时刻的对象。该方法被应用于深透镜调查(DLS),一个深地面弱透镜调查成像到$R\sim26$。为了更准确地再现弧的性质,利用从深HST场中提取的真实星系对DLS中弧的参数空间进行了模拟。在DLS中使用像素阈值方法检测电弧,并且在该多参数空间内选择候选电弧。强星系星系透镜候选人发现的DLS F2领域(4平方度)的例子。

英文摘要:

We present a semi-automated method to search for strong galaxy-galaxy lenses in optical imaging surveys. Our search technique constrains the shape of strongly lensed galaxies (or arcs) in a multi-parameter space, which includes the third order (octopole) moments of objects. This method is applied to the Deep Lens Survey (DLS), a deep ground based weak lensing survey imaging to $R\sim26$. The parameter space of arcs in the DLS is simulated using real galaxies extracted from deep HST fields in order to more accurately reproduce the properties of arcs. Arcs are detected in the DLS using a pixel thresholding method and candidate arcs are selected within this multi-parameter space. Examples of strong galaxy-galaxy lens candidates discovered in the DLS F2 field (4 square degrees) are presented.
