Quantifying Environmental and Line-of-sight Effects in Models of Strong Gravitational Lens Systems

Matter near a gravitational lens galaxy or projected along the line of sight (LOS) can affect strong lensing observables by more than contemporary measurement errors. We simulate lens fields with realistic threedimensional mass configurations (self-consistently including voids), and then fit mock le...
