Anowar Shajib (UCLA) -- Measurement of the Hubble Constant from Strongly Lensed Quasars

Science Talk • 12:15 PM, November 20th, 2019 • Morrisroe LCR

The recent tension between early- and late-Universe measurements of the Hubble constant highlights the necessity for independent and precise probes such as the time-delay cosmography. The measured time-delays between the lensed images of a background quasar depend on the absolute physical scales in the lens configuration. Thus, they provide an anchor for these scales to measure the Hubble constant, H_0. Due...
