Dissecting the Gravitational lens B1608+656. II. Precision Measurements of the Hubble Constant, Spatial Curvature, and the Dark Energy Equation of State

TL;DR: In this article, a Bayesian analysis of the strong gravitational lens system B1608+656 is presented, incorporating new, deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations, a new velocity-dispersion measurement of 260 ± 15 km s-1 for the primary lens galaxy, and an updated study of the lens' environment.
