1 EUCLID Strong Lensing Science Working Group Report... December 3, 2012

2 SLSWG will evaluate EUCLID capabilites in strong lensing. What we expect: - Over deg 2, there are cluster and group lenses, galaxy-galaxy lenses.

3 What we hope: - to use those lenses for the study of DM peaks up to redshift 1 - to probe DM substructure, time delays - cosmology related evolution of lensing statistics

4 What we need: - detect most of the candidates automatically - compute the selection function - compute the probability distribution functions wrt arc properties

7 Participate to OU-LE3 Cluster WP Tasks: - Identification of clusters by strong lensing - derivation of SL cluster masses

8 SLSWG working method WG meeting each 6 months: Kick-Off April 2012 (Lausanne). Pipeline meeting October 2012 (Groningen). Next... April 2013 (Bologna). Bi-weekly teleconference (Google Hangout) All minutes and reports may be found on

9 Assignment 1: realistic strong lensing simulations: Bologna Lens Factory (B Metcalf, M Menneghetti, C. Gioccoli) EUCLID Vis (Menneghetti et al.) Cluster Simulations: NFW halos, Sersic model stellar mass and light distributions of galaxies. Real background galaxies from UDF, shapelet deconvolved Galaxies: NFW halo, Sersic model stellar mass distribution, real HST massive galaxy light distribution. Real background galaxies from UDF, shapelet deconvolved Outputs: realistic single EUCLID images of simulated clusters, with many multiple image systems

10 Assignment 1: realistic strong lensing simulations: Bologna Lens Factory (B Metcalf, M Menneghetti, C. Gioccoli) EUCLID Vis (Metcalf) Field simulations, Millenium and C. Baugh provided cone, Ray tracing of enriched background to increase SL density. Images are also on the Bologna lens factory database page - only one filter for now images are with noise and Euclid-like PSF. Source model: devaucouleur + exp disk

11 Assignment 1: realistic spectroscopic simulations (NISP): LAM, CRAL (Jullo et al.) Recycle as much as possible what has been donne for MUSE.

12 Assignment 2: Test arcfinders (Cabanac et al., Seidel et al., Gavazzi et al.) Arcfinder (More et al.) Three arc finders already exist, two based on Alard s elongation estimator (Seidel, More). One using Gavazzi s small scale ring detector. The objective is to derive detector efficiencies wrt arc properties purity/completeness tables

17 Assignment 3: Test strong lensing modellers (Kneib et al., Jullo, Marshall et al.) Release publicly the simulation and organize a lensing challenge (akin to GREAT challenges) Probe the potential of citizen science for detection of none obvious cases.
