Extensive light profile fitting of galaxy-scale strong lenses

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Aims. We investigate the merits of a massive forward-modeling of ground-based optical imaging as a diagnostic for the strong lensing nature of early-type galaxies, in the light of which blurred and faint Einstein rings can hide.
