Abstract

Gravitationally lensed quasars (GLQs) are known to potentially provide an independent way of determining the value of the Hubble-Lemaître parameter H0, to probe the dark matter content of lensing galaxies and to resolve tiny structures in distant active galactic nuclei. That is why multiply imaged quasars are one of the main drivers for a photometric monitoring with the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT). We would like to answer the following questions: how many multiply imaged quasars should we be able to detect with the ILMT? And how to derive accurate magnitudes of the GLQ images? Our estimation of the possible number of multiply imaged quasars is 15, although optimistic forecasts predict up to 50 of them. We propose to use the adaptive PSF fitting method for accurate flux measurements of the lensed images. During preliminary observations in spring 2022 we were able to detect the quadruply imaged quasar SDSS J1251+2935 in the i’ and r’ spectral bands.
