从COSMOS领域鉴定的引力透镜和透镜候选物

Gravitational lenses and lens candidates identified from the COSMOS field

Neal Jackson

摘要:

一个完整的手动搜索已经进行了285423对象的列表,几乎所有的星系,确定在宇宙领域的亮度比I=25。除了Faure等人(2008)之前发现的透镜和候选透镜系统之外,还发现了两个确定的和一个高度可能的新引力透镜。呈现了112个候选透镜系统的进一步列表。其中很少有可能是真正的引力透镜系统,大多数是恒星形成环或成对的伴星系。在合理的时间内用肉眼检查10^6级的物体是可能的,尽管用这种方法可靠地检测晶状体可能只有在高分辨率数据的情况下才有可能。快速检索中涉及的完整性损失估计高达2倍,取决于候选镜片的形态。

英文摘要:

A complete manual search has been carried out of the list of 285423 objects, nearly all of them galaxies, identified in the COSMOS field that are brighter than I=25. Two certain and one highly probable new gravitational lenses are found, in addition to the lenses and candidate lens systems previously found by Faure et al. (2008). A further list of 112 candidate lens systems is presented. Few of these are likely to be true gravitational lens systems, most being star-forming rings or pairs of companion galaxies. It is possible to examine of order 10^6 objects by eye in a reasonable time, although reliable detection of lenses by such methods is likely to be possible only with high-resolution data. The loss of completeness involved in a rapid search is estimated as up to a factor of 2, depending on the morphology of the lens candidate.
