Abstract:
We present the first catalog of 67 strong galaxy-galaxy lens
candidates discovered in the 1.64deg^2^ Hubble Space Telescope COSMOS
survey. Twenty of these systems display multiple images or strongly
curved large arcs. Our initial search is performed by visual
inspection of the data and is restricted, for practical
considerations, to massive early-type lens galaxies with arcs found at
radii smaller than 5". Simple mass models are constructed for the
best lens candidates, and our results are compared to the strong
lensing catalogs of the SLACS survey and the CASTLES database. These
new strong galaxy-galaxy lensing systems constitute a valuable sample
to study the mass distribution of early-type galaxies and their
associated dark matter halos.
Description:
Three key data sets of the COSMOS survey were used: the HST ACS
high-resolution imaging, the Subaru Suprime imaging, and the CFHT
Megacam multicolor imaging.
