Gravitational Lensing in Astronomy [PDF]
Living Reviews in Relativity, 1998 Deflection of light by gravity was predicted by General Relativity and observationaly confirmed in 1919. In the following decades various aspects of the gravitational lens effect were explored theoretically, among them the possibility of multiple or ring-like images of background sources, the use of lensing as a gravitational telescope on very faint ...

Gravitational Lensing from a Spacetime Perspective
Living Reviews in Relativity, 2004 The theory of gravitational lensing is reviewed from a spacetime perspective, without quasi-Newtonian approximations. More precisely, the review covers all aspects of gravitational lensing where light propagation is described in terms of lightlike ...

Gravitational lensing around Kehagias–Sfetsos compact objects surrounded by plasma [PDF]
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019 We study the optical properties of the Kehagias–Sfetsos (KS) compact objects, characterized by the “Hořava” parameter $$\omega _{_{KS}}$$ ωKS , in the presence of plasma, considering its homogeneous or power-law density distribution.

Geometric Outlines of the Gravitational Lensing and Its Astronomic Applications
Universe, 2023 Gravitational lensing is a topic of great application value in the field of astronomy. The properties and research methods of gravitational lensing are closely related to the geometric and relativistic characteristics of the background universe.

Gravitational Lensing of Acoustic Charged Black Holes
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We study the gravitational lensing of acoustic charged black holes in strong and weak field limit approximations. For this purpose, we first numerically obtain the deflection limit coefficients and deflection angle in the strong field limit.

Detecting and Characterizing Young Quasars. III. The Impact of Gravitational Lensing Magnification
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We test the impact of gravitational lensing on the lifetime estimates of seven high-redshift quasars at redshift z ≳ 6. The targeted quasars are identified by their small observed proximity zone sizes, which indicate extremely short quasar lifetimes ( t ...

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2001 AbstractIn the roughly 20 years of its existence as an observational science, gravitational lensing has established itself as a valuable tool in many astrophysical fields. In the introduction of this review we briefly present the basics of lensing. Then it is shown that the two propagation effects, lensing and scintillation, have a number of properties

Inverting Gravitational Lenses [PDF]
SIAM Review, 2002 Summary: Gravitational lensing provides a powerful tool to study a number of fundamental questions in astrophysics. Fortuitously, one can begin to explore some nontrivial issues associated with this phenomenon without a lot of very sophisticated mathematics, making an elementary treatment of this topic tractable even to senior undergraduates. We give a

Exploring gravitational lensing [PDF]
European Journal of Physics, 2019 In this article, we discuss the idea of gravitational lensing, from a systematic, historical and didactic point of view. We show how the basic lensing equation together with the concepts of geometrical optics opens a space of implications that can be explored along different dimensions.
