Project Dinos

Galaxy evolution with strong lensing and dynamics

 

Goal of the project

The project aims to study the evolution of massive elliptical galaxies at z < 1 with joint lensing-dynamics analysis. This project performs state-of-the-art lens modeling of high-resolution imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope and other facilities. This project will grow its uniformly modeled sample over time as new datasets of suitable quality become available.

The GitHub organization for this project is: https://github.com/Project-Dinos.

 

This paper presents the first major lens model sample of Project Dinos with 77 galaxy-galaxy lenses from HST archival samples: SLACS, SL2S, and BELLS. Modeling products and lens model parameters are provided in this page.
