Descripción
In the framework of the Gravitational LENses and DArk MAtter (GLENDAMA)
project, we present a database of nine gravitationally lensed quasars
(GLQs) that have two or four images brighter than r = 20 mag and are
located in the northern hemisphere. This new database consists of a rich
variety of follow-up observations included in the GLENDAMA global
archive, which is publicly available online and contains 6557 processed
astronomical frames of the nine lens systems over the period 1999-2016.
In addition to the GLQs, our archive also incorporates binary quasars,
accretion-dominated radio-loud quasars, and other objects, where about
50% of the non-GLQs were observed as part of a campaign to identify GLQ
candidates. Most observations of GLQs correspond to an ongoing long-term
macro-programme with 2-10 m telescopes at the Roque de los Muchachos
Observatory, and these data provide information on the distribution of
dark matter at all scales. We outline some previous results from the
database, and we additionally obtain new results for several GLQs that
update the potential of the tool for astrophysical studies.
Tables 4-6, 8-11, and 13-16 (lightcurves and spectra) are only available
at the CDS via anonymous ftp to http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (http://130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/616/A118
