These sources are among the brightest sub-mm objects detected in H-ATLAS. Their spectral energy distribution, sub-mm colors and optical IDs are consistent with a gravitational lensing system where a low redshift (z<0.8) elliptical galaxy is acting as a lens on a dust-obscured high-redshift (z>1.5) galaxy. However, the background galaxy is predicted to be too faint in the optical/near-IR to be detectable in the ancillary SDSS and UKIDSS images, therefore our proposal for deep near-IR imaging with HST/WFC3. The discovery of gravitational lenses is one of the scientific goals of H-ATLAS and, if achieved, it will demonstrate the efficiency of blank wide-area sub-mm survey in producing unbiased and complete samples of gravitational lensing systems. Thanks to its sensitivity and unique spatial resolution HST/WFC3 will allow us to constrain the morphology of the brightest sub-mm sources detected by Herschel and therefore to eventually confirm their nature as gravitational lenses. In that case we will use HST/WFC3 images to reconstruct the intrinsic morphology of the background source and constrain the mass and matter profile of the lens. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Observations Description ------------------------ The background source in each of these 5 lens systems is heavily obscured by 12194( 3) - 23-Sep-2010 12:45:51 - [ 2] dust. Therefore we propose near-IR WFC3/HST observations using the two broad filters F110W and the F160W. The combined observations at two different wavelengths will provide the color information needed to disentangle the lens from the background source, the former having a bluer spectrum than the latter. In particular we will use the F110W image to accurately fit the light profile of the lens and exploit the F160W image for the detection of the background source after performing the lens subtraction. We have used the on-line calculator to estimate the exposure time necessary to detect the background source with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) >8 in the WFC3/F160W image, after the lens subtraction. We have made the assumption that the background source is lensed into an Einstein ring (the worst case scenario) so the total flux is distributed over the largest area. The Einstein radius (theta_E) is estimated from the line-of-sight stellar velocity dispersion of the lensing galay as inferred from the Faber-Jackson relation between the velocity dispersion and the rest-frame B-band luminosity for elliptical galaxies. The latter is derived from the fit to the available UV/optical/near-IR data (i.e. from GALEX, SDSS and UKIDSS). We assume for the Einstein ring a thickness of 0.2 arcseconds. There is an important issue related to the contamination from the lens that acts as an extra source of background noise. In order to account for this effect we have fitted the light profile of the lens with GALFIT (assuming either a Sersic profile or a Sersic+exponential disc profile) and estimated its brightness at a distance equal to theta_E from the center of the lens. In practice this contamination can be significantly reduced by subtracting the GALFIT model for the lens from the F160W image (after re-scaling the profile of the lens to the value of the peak measured in the F160W image). We expect the residual contribution of the lens, after the subtraction of the best-fit GALFIT model, to be of the order of 1 per cent. Therefore we have calculated the exposure time using the value of the brightness of the lens at a distance theta_E from its center and rescaled by a factor of 0.01. We have checked that for the derived integration times for observations with the F160W filter the flux contributed by the lens is not going to saturate the CCD. In order to estimate the exposure time for observations with F110W we required the lens to be detected with a signal-to-noise ratio of at least several hundreds. This will allow us to accurately fit the light profile of the lens and efficiently subtract it from the F160W image. In all the exposure time calculations, the fluxes of the lensing galaxy and of the background source in the F110W and F160W filters have been estimated from the SED models of da Chuna et al. (2008, 2010) which best-fit the available UV/optical/near-IR photometric data. 2 HST orbits are used for each object. One orbit is entirely dedicated to the imaging in the F160W filter (with a 4-dither patter to sample the PSF) to obtain the highest detection for the background source, typically with a signal-to-noise ratio >5 after the lens is subtracted off. The other orbit is split into 2 sets of exposures: one set in the F110W filter (with a 4-dither patter to sample the PSF) is meant to allow the detection of the lensing galaxy with a signal-to-noise ratio >400; a second set in the F160W filter (with a 2-dither pattern) is meant instead to improve the detection of the background source once the data are combined with those collected in the other orbit. 12194( 3) - 23-Sep-2010 12:45:51 - [ 3] Real Time Justification ----------------------- Calibration Justification ------------------------- Additional Comments ------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12194( 3) - 23-Sep-2010 12:45:51 - [ 4] TARGET LIST Fixed Targets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tar| Target | Target | Target |Coord | Radial | Flux data No | Name | Description | Position |Eqnx | Vel. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 SDSS-090312+ GALAXY, ELLIPTICAL, RA=09H03M11.5700S +/- 0.1", J2000 Z = F(10200) = 9.3+/-1.4 E-17, F(12200) = 003907 GRAVITATIONAL LENS, DEC=+00D39'6.50" +/- 0.1" 0.2999 8.5+/-1.3 E-17, F(16300) = 5.5+/-0.8 HIGH REDSHIFT GALAXY, E-17, F(21900) = 3.9+/-0.6 E-17, ULTRALUMINOUS IR GAL SIZE=1.23+/-0.18 Reference Frame: ICRS Comments: Gravitational lensing system.
