1 Discovery of Cluster-Scale Lensed Quasars using the Subaru Telescope Naohisa Inada ( RIKEN ) M.Oguri, T.Broadhurst, E.Falco et al. Subaru Users’ Meeting 29 - 31 Jan. 2008 @NAOJ

2 S We are carrying out the Sloan Digital Sky Survey QLSSQLS Quasar Lens Search ( SQLS ). The main purposes of the SQLS are 1 ) constructing a large statistical sample searching quasars lensed by of lensed quasars and 2 ) searching quasars lensed by clusters of galaxies clusters of galaxies, i.e., a new population of lensed quasars. So far we have succeeded in discovering two SDSS J1004+4112 cluster-scale lensed quasars, SDSS J1004+4112 and SDSS J1029+2623Subaru Telescope SDSS J1029+2623. We used the Subaru Telescope discoveries and further follow-up observations for the discoveries and further follow-up observations of both of them of both of them. # OUTLINE #

3 Introduction Overview of the SQLS : Gravitationally lensed quasar survey using the SDSS ~50 new lensed quasars data. ~50 new lensed quasars are expected to be discovered from the ~100,000 SDSS quasars. Main Purposes : largest statistical sample 1 ) Constructing a largest statistical sample of lensed quasars to probe dark energy. cluster-scale lensed quasars 2) Discovering cluster-scale lensed quasars to probe dark matter in galaxy clusters. Current Status : 28 lensed quasars We have succeeded in discovering 28 lensed quasars including 2 cluster-scale lensed quasars so far, including 2 cluster-scale lensed quasars. We have completed the first statistical sample from DR3.

4 Discovery of SDSS J1004+4112 SDSS J1004+4112 SDSS J1004+4112 : first The first ( 1/2 ) cluster-scale lensed quasar.  = 14.6", z source = 1.734, z lens = 0.680 Subaru Suprime-Cam Keck LRIS existence of the lensing galaxy cluster originate a single source quasar gri-band A B C D

5 Discovery of SDSS J1029+2623 SDSS J1029+2623 SDSS J1029+2623 : second The second ( 2/2 ) cluster-scale lensed quasar.  = 22.3", z source = 2.197, z lens = 0.600 Subaru FOCAS VLA existence of lensing galaxy cluster originate a single source quasar A B

7 Arcs in the SDSS J1029+2623 field  V between G1 and G2 is more than 2000 km/s FOCAS FOCAS Many arcs are found in the J1029 field We are going to propose service obs for deeper images. ongoing merger ongoing merger of two clusters!?

ApJL submitted We discovered two cluster-scale lensed quasars, SDSS J1004+4112 and SDSS J1029+2623 using the Subaru Telescope. Further follow-up observations with Subaru : We spectroscopically confirmed the central lensed image of J1004, and we may find J1029 to be more interesting ( important ) than J1004.
