摘要
We employ Schwarzschild's method of the orbit modeling to constrain the mass profiles of the central lens galaxies in Q0957 + 561 and PG 1115 + 080. We combine the measured, central projected stellar velocity dispersions of these galaxies with the self-similar radial profiles of the rms velocity and of the Gauss Hermite moment h(4) observed in nearby galaxies for 0 less than or similar to R less than or similar to 2R(eff). For Q0957+561, we find a 16% uncertainty in the galaxy mass and formal 2 sigma Limits on the Hubble constant of H-o = 61(-15)(+13) km s(-1) Mpc(-1). For PG 115 + 080,we find that none of the viable lens models can be ruled out, so that H-o is not yet strongly constrained by this system.
