Amir B. Aazami, Arlie O. Petters

摘要:

我们证明,独立的透镜模型的选择,总签署放大率总和始终为零的来源在燕尾,椭圆脐,双曲线脐焦散的四个图像区域的任何地方。这是一个更全面和更高阶的模拟众所周知的折叠和尖点放大率的关系,其中总有符号的放大率在两个图像区域的折叠,和三个图像区域的尖点,都始终为零。作为一个应用程序,我们构建了双曲脐放大关系的透镜观测,并将其与相应的观测的尖点和折叠的关系,使用一个奇异的等温椭球透镜。我们展示了更大的一般性的双曲脐放大率的关系,显示它如何适用于折叠图像的双峰和尖点图像的三胞胎,并扩展到图像配置,既不是。我们表明,这些结果适用于利用观测到的透镜类星体的四重像研究星系尺度上的子结构。放大关系也证明了一般的1-参数家庭的平面之间的映射,扩大其潜在的适用范围以外的透镜。

英文摘要:

We prove that, independent of the choice of a lens model, the total signed magnification always sums to zero for a source anywhere in the four-image regions of swallowtail, elliptic umbilic, and hyperbolic umbilic caustics. This is a more global and higher-order analog of the well-known fold and cusp magnification relations, in which the total signed magnification in the two-image region of the fold, and the three-image region of the cusp, are both always zero. As an application, we construct a lensing observable for the hyperbolic umbilic magnification relation and compare it with the corresponding observables for the cusp and fold relations using a singular isothermal ellipsoidal lens. We demonstrate the greater generality of the hyperbolic umbilic magnification relation by showing how it applies to the fold image doublets and cusp image triplets, and extends to image configurations that are neither. We show that the results are applicable to the study of substructure on galactic scales using observed quadruple images of lensed quasars. The magnification relations are also proved for generic 1-parameter families of mappings between planes, extending their potential range of applicability beyond lensing.
