Glossary | ||
======== | ||
|
||
arcsec | ||
------ | ||
Arcsecond, a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/3600 of a degree. Used here to denote coordinates in the lens plane, deflection angles, the core radius, the scale radius, the Einstein radius of the lens, and the softening parameter. | ||
|
||
|
||
arcsec^2 | ||
-------- | ||
Square arcseconds, used to denote the gravitational lensing potential at given coordinates and also used in the calculation of the radius in the lensing potential and convergence formulas. | ||
|
||
|
||
Msun | ||
---- | ||
Solar mass, used here to denote the total mass of the lens. | ||
|
||
|
||
Mpc | ||
--- | ||
Megaparsec, a unit of distance used in astronomy, used to denote distances related to the angular diameter distance in the cosmology calculations. | ||
|
||
|
||
Msun/Mpc^2 | ||
---------- | ||
Solar masses per square megaparsec, used to denote the surface mass density at given coordinates and the critical surface density. | ||
|
||
|
||
Msun/Mpc^3 | ||
---------- | ||
Solar masses per cubic megaparsec, used here to denote the central mass density in the central convergence calculation. | ||
|
||
|
||
seconds | ||
------- | ||
Time unit, used here to denote the gravitational time delay. | ||
|
||
|
||
radians | ||
------- | ||
A unit of angular measure used to denote the orientation of the lens on the sky and the position angle of the lens. | ||
|
||
meters | ||
------ | ||
A unit of length in the metric system, used here to denote the position vector in the lens plane in the EPL model. | ||
|
||
|
||
arcsec/pixel | ||
------------ | ||
Arcseconds per pixel, used to denote the pixel scale of the source image in the lens plane, indicating the angular size each pixel represents. | ||
|
||
|
||
flux | ||
---- | ||
A unit of brightness, used here to denote the intensity values within the pixelated source image and the intensity at the effective radius (Ie) of the Sersic source. | ||
|
||
|
||
unitless | ||
-------- | ||
Indicates a dimensionless quantity, used here for redshifts, the axis ratio of the lens, the power-law slope parameter of the lens model, shear components, the redshift of the lens, the concentration parameter, and the convergence of the lens. |
