The lag associated with the main peak of the cross-correlation function of the two light curves arriving from a double-imaged quasar is usually identified with...

We present a new approach to studying the initial mass function (IMF) in external galaxies based on quasar microlensing observations. We use measurements of...

Submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at z≳ 1 are luminous in the far-infrared, and have star formation rates, SFR, of hundreds to thousands of solar masses per year...

Clusters of galaxies trace the most non-linear peaks in the cosmic density field. The weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies by clusters can allow us...

Fossil groups are considered the end product of natural galaxy group evolution in which group members sink towards the centre of the gravitational potential due...

From the peak of a gravitational microlensing high-magnification event in the A component of QSO 2237+0305, which was accurately monitored by the Gravitational...

The redshift distribution of flat-spectrum radio sources with 5 GHz flux densities S5>~5 mJy is a key component in using current radio lens surveys to probe the...

We report the discovery of 13 confirmed two-image quasar lenses from a systematic search for gravitationally lensed quasars in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation...

Context. Number counts of galaxy clusters across redshift are a powerful cosmological probe if a precise and accurate reconstruction of the underlying mass...
