  "abstract": "We present a simultaneous analysis of 18 galaxy lenses with time delay measurements. For each lens we derive mass maps using pixelated simultaneous modeling with shared Hubble constant. We estimate the Hubble constant to be 66_{-4}^{+6} km/s/Mpc (for a flat Universe with \\Omega_m=0.3, \\Omega_\\Lambda=0.7). We have also selected a subsample of five relatively isolated early type galaxies and by simultaneous modeling with an additional constraint on isothermality of their mass profiles we get H_0=76 +/-3 km/s/Mpc.",
