Calibrating the standard candles with strong lensing

Abstract We propose a new model-independent strategy to calibrate the distance relation in Type Ia supernova (SN) observations and to probe the intrinsic properties of SNe Ia, especially the absolute magnitude $$M_B$$ MB , basing on strong lensing observations in the upcoming Large Synoptic Survey T...
