Abstract:

The time-domain information are increasingly import in astronomy studies. Mephisto will provide abundant such kind of information. On the other hand, lensed quasars and lensed supernovae could be crucial to study some important scientific topics. For instances, breaking the mass-sheet degeneracy and measuring the Hubble constant in an unprecedentedly precision. In this report, I will introduce the preliminary results of investigating the feasibility of making using of the time-domain information provided by Mephisto to search for strongly lensed quasars.
