Description

Candidate cluster-scale strongly-lensed quasars from DESI Legacy Survey (DESI QSO targets) and CluMPR DESI Legacy Survey galaxy cluster catalog. 

Paper decribing the CluMPR galaxy cluster catalogs and candidate lensed quasar catalogs: The CluMPR Galaxy Cluster-Finding Algorithm and DESI Legacy Survey Galaxy Cluster catalogue (M. J. Yantovski-Barth et al.)

Description: 

To search for lensed quasars, we use two Einstein radii: one corresponds to wide angle lensing by the entire cluster (๐‘€ = 10^15 ๐‘€โŠ™ ), and the other corresponds to lensing by the core of the cluster (๐‘€ = 0.25 ∗ 10^15 ๐‘€โŠ™ ).

We use the colors in bands g-r, g-z, and r-W1 to evaluate candidate lensed quasars. If at least two quasars are within 1 magnitude of each other in all 3 colors, we rate the candidate at Grade C. If at least three quasars are within 1 magnitude of each other in all 3 colors, we rate the the candidate at Grade B. If either 4 quasars or two combinations of 3 quasars are within 1 magnitude of each other in all 3 colors, we rate the candidate as Grade A.
