Cluster lenses

JP Kneib, P Natarajan - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2011 - Springer
Clusters of galaxies are the most recently assembled, massive, bound structures in the
Universe. As predicted by General Relativity, given their masses, clusters strongly deform …

Masses of galaxy clusters from gravitational lensing

H Hoekstra, M Bartelmann, H Dahle, H Israel… - Space Science …, 2013 - Springer
Despite consistent progress in numerical simulations, the observable properties of galaxy
clusters are difficult to predict ab initio. It is therefore important to compare both theoretical …

Spectroscopic confirmation of two luminous galaxies at a redshift of 14

S Carniani, K Hainline, F D'Eugenio, DJ Eisenstein… - Nature, 2024 - nature.com
The first observations of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revolutionized our

Bound star clusters observed in a lensed galaxy 460 Myr after the Big Bang

A Adamo, LD Bradley, E Vanzella, A Claeyssens… - Nature, 2024 - nature.com
Abstract The Cosmic Gems arc is among the brightest and highly magnified galaxies

Revealing galaxy candidates out to z ∼ 16 with JWST observations of the lensing cluster SMACS0723

H Atek, M Shuntov, LJ Furtak, J Richard… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
One of the main goals of the JWST is to study the first galaxies in the Universe. We present a
systematic photometric analysis of very distant galaxies in the first JWST deep field towards …

A highly magnified star at redshift 6.2

B Welch, D Coe, JM Diego, A Zitrin, E Zackrisson… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Galaxy clusters magnify background objects through strong gravitational lensing. Typical
magnifications for lensed galaxies are factors of a few but can also be as high as tens or …

LJ Furtak, A Zitrin, JR Weaver, H Atek… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We present a new parametric lens model for the massive galaxy cluster Abell 2744 based
on new ultra-deep JWST imaging taken in the framework of the UNCOVER program. These …

An extremely compact, low-mass galaxy on its way to quiescence at z= 5.2

V Strait, G Brammer, A Muzzin, G Desprez… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the discovery of a low-mass z= 5.200±0.002 galaxy that is in the process of
ceasing its star formation. The galaxy, MACS0417-z5BBG, is multiply imaged with …
