Gravitational Lensing [PDF]

open access: yesClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2010
Gravitational lensing has developed into one of the most powerful tools for the analysis of the dark universe. This review summarises the theory of gravitational lensing, its main current applications and representative results achieved so far. It has two parts.

Gravitational Lensing in Astronomy [PDF]

open access: yesLiving 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. [PDF]

open access: yesProc 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]

open access: yesPhys.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 by gravitational waves [PDF]

open access: yesGravitation and Cosmology, 2008
Gravitational lensing by gravitational wave is considered. We notice that although final and initial direction of photons coincide, displacement between final and initial trajectories occurs.

Image Simulations for Strong and Weak Gravitational Lensing [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 2020
Gravitational lensing has been identified as a powerful tool to address fundamental problems in astrophysics at different scales, ranging from exoplanet identification to dark energy and dark matter characterization in cosmology.

Gravitational Lensing of Continuous Gravitational Waves [PDF]

open access: yesUniverse, 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.

Gravitational lensing: a unique probe of dark matter and dark energy. [PDF]

open access: yesPhilos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2010
I review the development of gravitational lensing as a powerful tool of the observational cosmologist. After the historic eclipse expedition organized by Arthur Eddington and Frank Dyson, the subject lay observationally dormant for 60 years.
