Description:
Gravitational lensing is a powerful astrophysical and cosmological probe and is particularly valuable at submillimeter wavelengths for the study of the statistical and individual properties of dusty star-forming galaxies. However, the identification of gravitational lenses is often time-intensive, involving the sifting of large volumes of imaging or spectroscopic data to find few candidates. We used early data from the Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey to demonstrate that wide-area submillimeter surveys can simply and easily detect strong gravitational lensing events, with close to 100% efficiency.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Negrello, Mattia -- Hopwood, R -- De Zotti, G -- Cooray, A -- Verma, A -- Bock, J -- Frayer, D T -- Gurwell, M A -- Omont, A -- Neri, R -- Dannerbauer, H -- Leeuw, L L -- Barton, E -- Cooke, J -- Kim, S -- da Cunha, E -- Rodighiero, G -- Cox, P -- Bonfield, D G -- Jarvis, M J -- Serjeant, S -- Ivison, R J -- Dye, S -- Aretxaga, I -- Hughes, D H -- Ibar, E -- Bertoldi, F -- Valtchanov, I -- Eales, S -- Dunne, L -- Driver, S P -- Auld, R -- Buttiglione, S -- Cava, A -- Grady, C A -- Clements, D L -- Dariush, A -- Fritz, J -- Hill, D -- Hornbeck, J B -- Kelvin, L -- Lagache, G -- Lopez-Caniego, M -- Gonzalez-Nuevo, J -- Maddox, S -- Pascale, E -- Pohlen, M -- Rigby, E E -- Robotham, A -- Simpson, C -- Smith, D J B -- Temi, P -- Thompson, M A -- Woodgate, B E -- York, D G -- Aguirre, J E -- Beelen, A -- Blain, A -- Baker, A J -- Birkinshaw, M -- Blundell, R -- Bradford, C M -- Burgarella, D -- Danese, L -- Dunlop, J S -- Fleuren, S -- Glenn, J -- Harris, A I -- Kamenetzky, J -- Lupu, R E -- Maddalena, R J -- Madore, B F -- Maloney, P R -- Matsuhara, H -- Michaowski, M J -- Murphy, E J -- Naylor, B J -- Nguyen, H -- Popescu, C -- Rawlings, S -- Rigopoulou, D -- Scott, D -- Scott, K S -- Seibert, M -- Smail, I -- Tuffs, R J -- Vieira, J D -- van der Werf, P P -- Zmuidzinas, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Nov 5;330(6005):800-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1193420.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physics and Astronomy, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA, UK. m.negrello@open.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21051633" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
