Receipt: # 17710-2 ----- Attempting Submission 3 (Wed Jan 15 13:02:16 GMT 2025) ----- Establishing quasar-host scaling relations with strong gravitational lensing We aim to characterize the evolution of the supermassive black hole - host galaxy correlations using the unique power of strong gravitational lensing. We employ a pioneering technique that leverages strong gravitational lensing by quasars to probe the SMBH mass-galaxy mass relation at intermediate redshift. Our proposal seeks to potentially triple the number of known quasars acting as gravitational lenses. With HST's superior spatial resolution, we aim to detect faint Einstein rings hidden in the glare of 10 carefully selected quasars. The mass modelling of these lenses will provide highly precise measurements (<5%) of the host galaxy's mass. Our findings will offer crucial insights into galaxy evolution scenarios, help resolving current controversies in the evolution of the scaling relations with redshift, and be a precious benchmark for cosmological simulations. This proposal aims to obtain WFC3 F475W and F814W images of 10 intermediate-redshift quasars that act as gravitational lenses on higher-redshift emission-line galaxies. These systems have been selected from quasar spectra in the eBOSS survey. The goal of the program is to detect the Einstein rings produced by the quasar host galaxies, enabling precise mass measurements of these galaxies. For each object, we will use two orbits per visit, one for each filter, with 5 exposures of 400 seconds per filter. We have selected the "DITHER-LINE" dithering pattern, using 5 exposures centered on UVIS2. Additionally, one orbit is dedicated to measuring the PSF of the HST in both filters under the same observing conditions as the quasar lenses. The field chosen for this purpose is the open cluster NGC 136, which provides good spatial sampling of the PSF and across different spectral types. An accurate PSF model is critical for this program, as we expect the Einstein rings to be hidden in the glare of the brigther foreground quasar. The PSF model will be used for lens modeling and deconvolution purposes. This orbit is divided into 8 exposures: 1x60s + 2x470s in F475W, followed by 1x60s + 2x470s in F814W. The team has already performed successfully a similar experiment (HST proposal 12233, PI: Courbin), demonstrating the efficiency of our lens searching techniques. Our team combines the expertise to i) observe and reduce the WFC3/UVIS images, ii) produce accurate mass models, iii) measure the black hole masses from ancillary spectroscopy and iv) interpret the results in the light of galaxy evolution scenarios. M.M. recently led the strong lensing analysis on the first case of strong lensing by a quasar, demonstrating the feasibility of such a technique. M.M., F.C., and F.D. are expert strong lens modelers. D.S. and R.M are experts in quasar spectroscopy. Many team members have more than a decade of experience in observing with HST.
