Null gravitational redshift by a Reissner–Nordström black hole in the strong field limit
The gravitational shift of electromagnetic frequency in the strong field limit is usually investigated under the common scenario, where the light receiver is far away from the central body while the emitter is in the strong-field region of the lens.

Dust and Extinction Curves in Galaxies with z > 0: The Interstellar Medium of Gravitational Lens Galaxies [PDF]
We determine 37 differential extinctions in 23 gravitational lens galaxies over the range 0 ≲ zl ≲ 1. Only seven of the 23 systems have spectral differences consistent with no differential extinction.

High-resolution imaging of the anomalous flux ratio gravitational lens system CLASS B2045+265: dark or luminous satellites ? [PDF]
The existence of flux ratio anomalies between fold and cusp images in galaxy-scale strong-lens systems has led to an interpretation based on the presence of a high mass fraction of cold dark matter (CDM) substructures around galaxies, as predicted by ...

Exploring Weak Gravitational Lensing Effects by a Regular Black Hole
Gravitational lensing is one of the physical consequences of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which has been observationally confirmed. This work aims to study the weak gravitational lensing scenario where the lens is a spherically symmetric ...

When radiation from a background source passes through a cloud of cold plasma, diverging lensing occurs if the source and observer are well-aligned. Unlike gravitational lensing, plasma lensing is dispersive, increasing in strength with wavelength.

Domain Adaptation in Application to Gravitational Lens Finding
The next decade is expected to see a tenfold increase in the number of strong gravitational lenses, driven by new wide-field imaging surveys. To discover these rare objects, efficient automated detection methods need to be developed.
