Optical+Near-IR Analysis of a Newly Confirmed Einstein Ring at z ∼ 1 from the Kilo-Degree Survey: Dark Matter Fraction, Total and Dark Matter Density Slope, and Initial Mass Function

Optical+Near-IR Analysis of a Newly Confirmed Einstein Ring at z ∼ 1 from the Kilo-Degree Survey: Dark Matter Fraction, Total and Dark Matter Density Slope, and Initial Mass Function

We report the spectroscopic confirmation of a bright blue Einstein ring in the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) footprint: the Einstein “blue eye.” Spectroscopic data from X-Shooter at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) show that the lens is a typical early-type galaxy (ETG) at z _l  = 0.9906, while the backgr...
