VizieR Online Data Catalog: Gravitational lens candidates models (Kung+, 2018)

We report on a first set of mass distributions and follow-up diagnostics for the Space Warps lens candidates created with a novel approach that aims to be scalable by orders of magnitude to prepare for the many thousands of lenses the next generation of wide-field surveys will yield (e.g. Euclid and WFIRST).

Table 1 is a summary of our results. It characterizes each modelled system with seven diagnostics, indicating (a) the image morphology and how clear or indistinct it is, (b) whether the mass map and synthetic lensed image appear to be plausible, and (c) how the model mass compares with the estimated stellar and full-halo masses. Missing entries are due unavailable imaging data, whereas missing rows are due to models that were not created for this particular candidate.
