摘要:

在大规模天文巡天时代,强透镜系统的快速建模变得日益重要。尽管星系尺度透镜已取得显著进展,但针对更大系统(如星系群和星系团)的自动化建模方法发展仍不充分。本研究旨在扩展GIGA-Lens代码的能力,提升其在多星系强透镜系统建模中的效率。我们重点展示GPU加速贝叶斯推断在处理具有大量自由参数的复杂透镜场景方面的潜力。我们采用一种改进的推断方法,将图像位置和像素化数据与退火采样技术相结合,以获得复杂模型的后验分布。该方法使我们能够克服先验信息有限、参数数量多以及内存占用等挑战。我们通过对致密星系群透镜系统DES J0248-3955的分析来展示该流程,并给出其VLT/X-shooter光谱。我们测得该星系群的红移为$z = 0.69 \pm 0.04$,其中一条延展弧的红移为$z = 1.2722 \pm 0.0005$。我们的增强方法在极短时间内成功约束了一个具有29个自由参数且先验宽松的透镜模型。透镜质量可由单一暗物质晕很好地描述,其速度弥散为$σ_v = (690 \pm 30) \\, km \\, s^{-1}$。模型预测在相同红移处存在第二个源,并在约$z \sim 2.7$处存在第三个源。本研究表明,我们的透镜建模技术能够利用地面数据在短时间内有效处理复杂系统。这在LSST等大型巡天的背景下展现出相当大的潜力。

英文摘要:

In the era of large-scale astronomical surveys, fast modeling of strong lens systems has become increasingly vital. While significant progress has been made for galaxy-scale lenses, the development of automated methods for modeling larger systems, such as groups and clusters, is not as extensive. Our study aims to extend the capabilities of the GIGA-Lens code, enhancing its efficiency in modeling multi-galaxy strong lens systems. We focus on demonstrating the potential of GPU-accelerated Bayesian inference in handling complex lensing scenarios with a high number of free parameters. We employ an improved inference approach that combines image position and pixelated data with an annealing sampling technique to obtain the posterior distribution of complex models. This method allows us to overcome the challenge of limited prior information, a high number of parameters, and memory usage. Our process is exemplified through the analysis of the compact group lens system DES J0248-3955, for which we present VLT/X-shooter spectra. We measure a redshift of $z = 0.69 \pm 0.04$ for the group, and $z = 1.2722 \pm 0.0005$ for one of the extended arcs. Our enhanced method successfully constrained a lens model with 29 free parameters and lax priors in a remarkably short time. The mass of the lens is well described by a single dark-matter halo with a velocity dispersion of $σ_v = (690 \pm 30) \, km \, s^{-1}$. The model predicts the presence of a second source at the same redshift and a third source at approximately $z \sim 2.7$. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of our lens modeling technique for dealing with a complex system in a short time using ground-based data. This presents considerable potential within the context of large surveys such as LSST.
