Weak Gravitational Lensing [PDF]
In this brief review I consider the advances made in weak gravitational lensing over the last 8 years, concentrating on the large scales - cosmic shear. I outline the theoretical developments, observational status, and the challenges which cosmic shear must overcome to realise its full potential. Finally I consider the prospects for probing Dark Energy

Weak Gravitational Lensing of Finite Beams [PDF]
The standard theory of weak gravitational lensing relies on the infinitesimal light beam approximation. In this context, images are distorted by convergence and shear, the respective sources of which unphysically depend on the resolution of the distribution of matter---the so-called Ricci-Weyl problem.

Weak gravitational lensing around dyonic ModMax black hole in plasma
In this study, we examine the effects of weak gravitational lensing and determine the shadow radius around black holes within the Dyonic ModMax (DM) spacetime, also accounting for models with nonuniform plasma distributions.

Instrumental systematics and weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
We present a pedagogical review of the weak gravitational lensing measurement process and its connection to major scientific questions such as dark matter and dark energy. Then we describe common ways of parametrizing systematic errors and understanding how they affect weak lensing measurements.

Weak gravitational lensing cross-correlations
The matter content of the Universe is dominated by dark matter. Beyond its abundance and its lack of non-gravitational interactions with standard model matter, little is known about the nature of dark matter. This thesis attempts to illuminate different aspects of dark matter by using gravitational lensing in conjunction with other cosmological probes.

Weak gravitational lensing and shadow cast by rotating black holes in axionic Chern–Simons theory [PDF]
We investigate the impact of the axionic coupling parameter on the bending angle of light and the shadow cast by slowly rotating black holes in Chern-Simons modified gravity.

Shadow and weak gravitational lensing of a rotating regular black hole in a non-minimally coupled Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in the presence of plasma [PDF]
The null geodesics of the regular and rotating magnetically charged black hole in a non-minimally coupled Einstein-Yang-Mills theory surrounded by a plasma medium is studied.

Shadows and gravitational weak lensing by the Schwarzschild black hole in the string cloud background with quintessential field [PDF]
In this study, we observe that, in the presence of the string cloud parameter a and the quintessence parameter γ, with the equation of state parameter , the radius of the shadow of the Schwarzschild black hole increases as compared with that in the pure ...

Weak gravitational lensing in dark matter and plasma mediums for wormhole-like static aether solution [PDF]
In this paper, we study the deflection angle for wormhole-like static aether solution by using Gibbons and Werner technique in non-plasma, plasma, and dark matter mediums.

Gravitational Lensing: Strong, Weak and Micro [PDF]
The theory, observations, and applications of gravitational lensing constitute one of the most rapidly growing branches of astrophysics. The gravitational deflection of light generated by mass concentrations along a light path produces magnification ...
