Implications of the lens redshift distribution of strong lensing systems: cosmological parameters and the global properties of early-type galaxies

Abstract In this paper, we assemble a well-defined sample of early-type gravitational lenses extracted from a large collection of 158 systems, and use the redshift distribution of galactic-scale lenses to test the standard cosmological model ($$\varLambda $$ Λ CDM) and the modified gravity theory (D...
