The strong gravitational lens finding challenge [PDF]
Large-scale imaging surveys will increase the number of galaxy-scale strong lensing candidates by maybe three orders of magnitudes beyond the number known today. Finding these rare objects will require picking them out of at least tens of millions of images, and deriving scientific results from them will require quantifying the efficiency and bias of ...

THE OPTIMAL GRAVITATIONAL LENS TELESCOPE [PDF]
Given an observed gravitational lens mirage produced by a foreground deflector (cf. galaxy, quasar, cluster,...), it is possible via numerical lens inversion to retrieve the real source image, taking full advantage of the magnifying power of the cosmic lens. This has been achieved in the past for several remarkable gravitational lens systems.

Gravitational Lensing of Continuous Gravitational Waves
Continuous gravitational waves are analogous to monochromatic light and could therefore be used to detect wave effects such as interference or diffraction. This would be possible with strongly lensed gravitational waves.

Gravitational Lensing of Supernova Neutrino Bursts
Supernova neutrino bursts have been observed from extragalactic distances. This note addresses the question of how gravitational lensing could distort the information in the burst.

Gravitational lens time delays and gravitational waves [PDF]
Using Fermat's principle, we analyze the effects of very long wavelength gravitational waves upon the images of a gravitationally lensed quasar. We show that the lens equation in the presence of gravity waves is equivalent to that of a lens with different alignment between source, deflector, and observer in the absence of gravity waves.

The 2dF Gravitational Lens Survey [PDF]
AbstractThe 2 degree Field (2dF) galaxy redshift survey will involve obtaining spectra of approximately 2.5 105 objects which have previously been identified as galaxy candidates on morphological grounds. Included in these spectra should be about ten gravitationally-lensed quasars, all with low-redshift galaxies as deflectors (as the more common lenses

Fixed Points Features in N-Point Gravitational Lenses
A set of fixed points in N-point gravitational lenses is studied in the paper. We use complex form of lens mapping to study fixed points. There are some merits of using a complex form over coordinate. In coordinate form gravitational lens is described by
