TL;DR
This study uses HST imaging to analyze 21 galaxy-Lyα emitter lens candidates from the BELLS GALLERY survey, confirming 17 as definite lenses and exploring their mass profiles and the properties of lensed Lyα emitters.
Contribution
It provides smooth lens models for the BELLS GALLERY sample and investigates the mass profile evolution of early-type galaxies at redshift ~0.55.
Findings
17 confirmed lens systems with multiple imaging
Lenses have larger Einstein radii due to higher source redshifts
Lensed Lyα emitters show star-forming knots from <100 pc to several kpc
Abstract
We present \textsl{Hubble Space Telescope} (\textsl{HST}) F606W-band imaging observations of 21 galaxy-Ly emitter lens candidates in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) Emission-Line Lens Survey (BELLS) for GALaxy-Ly EmitteR sYstems (BELLS GALLERY) survey. 17 systems are confirmed to be definite lenses with unambiguous evidence of multiple imaging. The lenses are primarily massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) at redshifts of approximately , while the lensed sources are Ly emitters (LAEs) at redshifts from 2 to 3. Although the \textsl{HST} imaging data are well fit by smooth lens models consisting of singular isothermal ellipsoids in an external shear field, a thorough exploration of dark substructures in the lens galaxies is required. The Einstein radii of the BELLS GALLERY lenses are on average larger than those of the BELLS lenses…
