A Catalog of Compact Blue Strongly Lensed Sources in the Footprint of Ground-based Surveys

Abstract

We present a catalog of Compact Blue Strongly Lensed Sources in the footprint of ground-based surveys. We visually inspected the high-quality strong lensing candidates from the Kilo Degree Survey, the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program and the Dark Energy Survey. We have collected 63 multiple-imaged systems that are similar to the lensed post-blue nuggets found in Napolitano et al. and fully characterized in Li et al. Data, including gri cutouts, are made publicly available (https://cosviewer.com/en/special-objects#bluenuggets).
