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 ...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013 Since Galileo, the arrays of lenses in telescopes have revolutionized the way we see planets, moons, and the universe. Now gravitational lenses made of warped spacetime are helping astronomers peer into the farthest corners of the cosmos.

Weak Gravitational Lensing [PDF]
Phys.Rept.340:291-472,2001, 1999 We review theory and applications of weak gravitational lensing. After summarising Friedmann-Lemaitre cosmological models, we present the formalism of gravitational lensing and light propagation in arbitrary space-times. We discuss how weak-lensing effects can be measured.

Gravitational Lensing of Continuous Gravitational Waves [PDF]
Universe, 2021 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.

The Scales of Gravitational Lensing [PDF]
Universe, 2016 After exactly a century since the formulation of the general theory of relativity, the phenomenon of gravitational lensing is still an extremely powerful method for investigating in astrophysics and cosmology.

Lensing Point-spread Function of Coherent Astrophysical Sources and Nontrivial Wave Effects [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalMost research on astrophysical lensing has been conducted using the geometric optics framework, where there exists a clear concept of lensing images. However, wave optics effects can be important for coherent sources, e.g., pulsars, fast radio bursts ...

Gravitational Lensing from a Spacetime Perspective [PDF]
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 ...
