Improved Constraints on the Gravitational Lens Q0957+561. II. Strong Lensing

Fadely, Ross, Keeton, Charles R., Nakajima, Reiko et al.

Understand

We present a detailed strong lensing analysis of an HST/ACS legacy dataset for the first gravitational lens, Q0957+561.

With deep imaging we identify 24 new strongly lensed features, which we use to constrain mass models.
We model the stellar component of the lens galaxy using the observed luminosity distribution, and the dark matter halo using several different density profiles.
We draw on the weak lensing analysis by Nakajima et al.
