摘要:

在强引力透镜分析中,星系质量的椭圆幂律(EPL)模型得到了广泛的应用。然而,真实星系中的质量分布更为复杂。我们量化的偏差,由于这种模型不匹配模拟,然后分析模拟{ \it哈勃太空望远镜}成像的镜头与质量分布推断SDSS-MANGA恒星动力学数据。我们发现源星系形态的准确恢复,除了轻微的倾向,推断源比它们的真实大小更紧凑。透镜的爱因斯坦半径也以0.1%的精度稳健地恢复,与3.4%的固有色散相比,全局密度斜率也是如此,具有2.5%的相对系统误差。然而,在真实透镜中的不对称性也导致具有典型强度$γ_{\rm ext}=0.015$的假拟合“外部剪切”。此外,在没有恒星动力学测量的情况下,从透镜模型中推断出的时间延迟通常被低估了$\sim$ 5%。使用这样的测量从一个子样本的37个镜头将偏差测量哈勃常数$H_0$由$\sim$ 9%。虽然这项工作是基于一组特定的MaNGA星系,检测到的偏差的具体值可能会改变另一组强透镜,我们的研究结果强烈建议下一代宇宙学需要使用更复杂的透镜质量模型。

英文摘要:

The elliptical power-law (EPL) model of the mass in a galaxy is widely used in strong gravitational lensing analyses. However, the distribution of mass in real galaxies is more complex. We quantify the biases due to this model mismatch by simulating and then analysing mock {\it Hubble Space Telescope} imaging of lenses with mass distributions inferred from SDSS-MaNGA stellar dynamics data. We find accurate recovery of source galaxy morphology, except for a slight tendency to infer sources to be more compact than their true size. The Einstein radius of the lens is also robustly recovered with 0.1% accuracy, as is the global density slope, with 2.5% relative systematic error, compared to the 3.4% intrinsic dispersion. However, asymmetry in real lenses also leads to a spurious fitted `external shear' with typical strength, $γ_{\rm ext}=0.015$. Furthermore, time delays inferred from lens modelling without measurements of stellar dynamics are typically underestimated by $\sim$5%. Using such measurements from a sub-sample of 37 lenses would bias measurements of the Hubble constant $H_0$ by $\sim$9%. Although this work is based on a particular set of MaNGA galaxies, and the specific value of the detected biases may change for another set of strong lenses, our results strongly suggest the next generation cosmography needs to use more complex lens mass models.
