A Spectroscopic Survey of the Fields of 28 Strong Gravitational Lenses: Implications for $H_0$

, 2017
Strong gravitational lensing provides an independent measurement of the Hubble parameter ($H_0$). One remaining systematic is a bias from the additional mass due to a galaxy group at the lens redshift or along the sightline.

Improved Cosmological Constraints from Gravitational Lens Statistics

, 2004
We combine the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) with new Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data on the local velocity dispersion distribution function of E/S0 galaxies, $\phi(\sigma)$, to derive lens statistics constraints on $\Omega_\Lambda$ and ...

microJAX: A Differentiable Framework for Microlensing Modeling with GPU-accelerated Image-centered Ray Shooting

The Astrophysical Journal
We introduce microJAX , the first fully differentiable implementation of the image-centered ray shooting algorithm for gravitational microlensing. Built on JAX and its XLA just-in-time compiler, microJAX exploits GPU parallelism while providing exact ...

Weak-lensing Approximation of Wave-optics Effects from General Symmetric Lens Profiles

The Astrophysical Journal
Gravitational lensing of electromagnetic (EM) waves has yielded many profound discoveries across fundamental physics, astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology. Similar to EM waves, gravitational waves (GWs) can also be lensed.

The gravitational lens as an astronomical diagnostic

The Astrophysical Journal, 1985
How a point gravitational lens images a diffuse background source is examined, and it is shown that under a wide range of circumstances the image contains a 'gravity ring.' The chief criterion for producing this phenomenon is that the angular scale of brightness variation in the source be smaller than the angular radius of the cone of inversion of the ...

Exploring Weak Gravitational Lensing Effects by a Regular Black Hole

Spektra: Jurnal Fisika dan Aplikasinya
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 ...

The Gaussian-Drude Lens: A Dusty Plasma Model Applicable to Observations Across the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Universe
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.
