Abstract

Strong gravitational lens systems with measured time delays between the multiple images provide a method for measuring the "time-delay distance" to the lens, and thus the Hubble constant. We present a Bayesian analysis of the strong gravitational lens system B1608+656, incorporating (1) new, deep Hubble Space Telescope ( HST ) observations, (2) a new velocity-dispersion measurement of 260 ± 15 km s −1 for the primary lens galaxy, and (3) an updated study of the lens' environment. Our analysis of the HST images takes into account the extended source surface brightness, and the dust extinction and optical emission by the interacting lens galaxies. When modeling the stellar dynamics of the primary lens galaxy, the lensing effect, and the environment of the lens, we explicitly include the total mass distribution profile logarithmic slope γ' and the external convergence κ ext ; we marginalize over these parameters, assigning well-motivated priors for them, and so turn the major systematic errors into statistical ones. The HST images provide one such prior, constraining the lens mass density profile logarithmic slope to be γ' = 2.08 ± 0.03; a combination of numerical simulations and photometric observations of the B1608+656 field provides an estimate of the prior for κ ext : 0.10 +0.08 −0.05 . This latter distribution dominates the final uncertainty on H 0 . Fixing the cosmological parameters at Ω m = 0.3, Ω Λ = 0.7, and w = −1 in order to compare with previous work on this system, we find H 0 = 70.6 +3.1 −3.1 km s −1 Mpc −1 . The new data provide an increase in precision of more than a factor of 2, even including the marginalization over κ ext . Relaxing the prior probability density function for the cosmological parameters to that derived from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) five-year data set, we find that the B1608+656 data set breaks the degeneracy between Ω m and Ω Λ at w = −1 and constrains the curvature parameter to be −0.031 < Ω k < 0.009 (95% CL), a level of precision comparable to that afforded by the current Type Ia SNe sample. Asserting a flat spatial geometry, we find that, in combination with WMAP , H 0 = 69.7 +4.9 −5.0 km s −1 Mpc −1 and w = −0.94 +0.17 −0.19 (68% CL), suggesting that the observations of B1608+656 constrain w as tightly as the current Baryon Acoustic Oscillation data do.

Time delays of galaxy-scale lensed quasars will allow measurement of Hubble's constant in hundreds of systems, with subpercent precision in H(z) achievable.
“Time delays of galaxy-scale lensed quasars will allow one to measure Hubble ' s constant ( e.g., Suyu et al. 2010; Bonvin et al. 2017 ) in hundreds of systems; subpercentlevel precision in H ( z ) should be achievable ( Coe & Moustakas 2009; Treu & Marshall 2016 ) , providing a further independent dark energy probe.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
