Gravitationally Lensed Quasar SDSS J1442+4055: Redshifts of Lensing Galaxies, Time Delay, Microlensing Variability, and Intervening Metal System at z ∼ 2

Abstract: We present an r-band photometric monitoring of the two images A and B of the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J1442+4055 using the Liverpool Telescope (LT). From the LT light curves between 2015 December and 2018 August, we derive at once a time delay of 25.0 ± 1.5 days (1σ confidence interval; A is leading) and microlensing magnification gradients below 10 −4 mag day −1 . The delay interval is not expected to be affected by an appreciable microlensing-induced bias, so it can be used to estimate cosmological… Show more

“… 2007 ; Goicoechea and Shalyapin 2016 ; Giannini et al. 2017 ; Shalyapin and Goicoechea 2019 ), about 40 lensed quasars have now known time delays, although with variable precision, but the sample starts to be sufficiently large to vastly reduce the random uncertainties and to enable a statistical study of the time-delay lenses. In addition, three cluster-scale lensed quasars have measured time delays (Fohlmeister et al.…”

“…As a result, it typically requires 5 to 10 seasons of monitoring to obtain enough prominent features in the light curves to unambiguously match the intrinsic variations in the different multiple images without being affected by the extrinsic variations. This long-term strategy yielded several precise time-delay measurements (Tewes et al 2013b;Rathna Kumar et al 2013;Shalyapin & Goicoechea 2017;Bonvin et al 2017;Shalyapin & Goicoechea 2019;Millon et al 2020), but at a large observational cost. It is no longer sustainable in the era of wide field surveys such as DES, CFIS, PanSTARRS, Gaia, which are discovering dozens of new lensed quasars.…”
