Abstract:We present a mock catalog of gravitationally lensed quasars at z qso < 7.5 with simulated images for the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). We adopt recent measurements of quasar luminosity functions to model the quasar population, and use the CosmoDC2 mock galaxy catalog to model the deflector galaxies, which successfully reproduces the observed galaxy velocity dispersion functions up to z d ∼ 1.5. The mock catalog is highly complete for lensed quasars with Einstein radius θ E > 0. 07 a… Show more
