Large data set of lensed quasars: higher accuracy on H0? The angular structures viewpoint
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 March 2024
Abstract
Thanks to forthcoming large-scale surveys, a tremendous number of strong lenses will be discovered in the coming years. The gain in accuracy on H0 from such a large population of lensed quasars is a key question for the future of time-delay cosmography. In such context, lensed systems will have to be modeled in an automated way, with models that are sufficiently generic to apply to every lens. I explore the biases that may arise from unaccounted-for azimuthal structures in mass models. The non-modeled twists in lensing galaxies are expected to bias the shear inference but not H0. Disregarded ellipticity gradients, boxyness and discyness may impact the cosmological inference on a lens-by-lens basis. Nevertheless, the diversity of azimuthal mass profile in lenses balances the bias at a population level and the H0 inference can thus benefits from such large surveys.
