An optical time delay for the double gravitational lens system FBQ 0951+2635
Аннотация
We present optical R-band light curves of the double gravitationally lensed quasar FBQ 0951+2635 from observations obtained at the Nordic Optical Telescope between March 1999 and June 2001. A time delay of ± 2 days (1σ) is determined from the light curves. New constraints on the lensing geometry are provided by the position and ellipticity of the lensing galaxy. For a cosmology, the time delay yields a Hubble parameter of (random, ) (systematic) km s-1 Mpc-1 for a singular isothermal ellipsoid model and (random, ) (systematic) km s-1 Mpc-1 for a constant mass-to-light ratio model. In both models, the errors are mainly due to the time-delay uncertainties. Non-parametric models yield (random, ) (systematic) km s-1 Mpc-1.
