Predicted Lens Redshifts and Magnitudes for Gravitational Lenses
Abstract
Description
For suitable gravitational lens systems with unknown lens redshifts, the redshifts and brightnesses (in different colours) of the lenses are predicted for a variety of cosmological models, for both elliptical and spiral galaxy lenses. Besides providing hints as to which systems should be observed with a realistic chance of measuring the lens redshifts, which are needed for detailed lensing statistics and for modelling the lenses, these calculations give a visual impression of the influence of the cosmological model in gravitational lensing.
One self-unpacking uuencoded compressed tar file (created with uufiles) containing two PostScript files: 6 pages of text (140289 bytes) and 6 pages of figures (3239425 bytes). Order of the figures is the same as in the table, in case the labels are lost by not using a4 paper. Complete copy of poster presented at the IAU Symposium 173 `The astrophysics of Gravitational Lensing' in July 1995 in Melbourne. (Due to space limitations no care could be taken, as we usually do, to enable printing on 8.5x11 paper. Paper version available on request.)
