High Significance Detection of the Dark Substructure in Gravitational Lens SDSS J0946+1006 by Image Pixel Supersampling by Quinn E. Minor

“…Here we show that the detection significance of the substructure is higher than previously reported (log-Bayes factor ${\rm{\Delta }}\mathrm{ln}\,{ \mathcal E }\approx 143$ , equivalent to a ∼17 σ detection) by approximating the integration of light over each pixel via ray tracing and averaging over many subpixels—a technique known as supersampling—and this result is insensitive to the assumed prior on the source galaxy smoothness. …”
