Generating Dark Matter Subhalo Populations Using Normalizing Flows

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for probing the nature of dark matter, as lensing signals are sensitive to the dark matter substructure within the lensing galaxy.

A comparison of approximate gravitational lens equations and a proposal for an improved new one

open access: yes, 2008
Keeping the exact general relativistic treatment of light bending as a reference, we compare the accuracy of commonly used approximate lens equations. We conclude that the best approximate lens equation is the Ohanian lens equation, for which we present ...

The Role of Intellectual Virtues in the Practice of Humanistic Mental Health Counseling

open access: yesThe Journal of Humanistic Counseling, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The function of intellectual virtues as a foundation for the development of excellence in the humanistic practice of clinical mental health counseling is explored. First, the unique characteristics of intellectual virtues are described. Second, 10 specific intellectual virtues are identified and briefly defined.

Dark Matter Distinguished by Skewed Microlensing in the “Dragon Arc”

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Many microlensed stars discovered by JWST closely follow the winding critical curve of A370 along the “Dragon Arc” with m _AB  > 26.5, which we show comprises asymptotic giant branch stars microlensed by the observed level of diffuse cluster stars ...

Gravitational Lensing at Millimeter Wavelengths

open access: yes, 2002
With today's millimeter and submillimeter instruments observers use gravitational lensing mostly as a tool to boost the sensitivity when observing distant objects.

Gravitational Lenses

open access: yes, 1999
The purpose of these lecture notes is to describe the gravitational lens effects in different astrophysical contexts. These notes are voluntarily focused on the fundamental mechanisms and the basic concepts that are useful to describe these effects. The observational consequences are presented in more details in accompanying notes by Y. Mellier.

In Situ Acoustic Monitoring of Focused Femtosecond Pulse Duration in Air

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Air‐breakdown acoustics at the laser focus is used to determine femtosecond pulse duration with a simple USB microphone. By chirp‐tuning and compressing 1030 nm pulses from 241 to 50 fs, the acoustic amplitude scales inversely proportional to the square root of the pulse duration, enabling in situ readout over 50 fs–5 ps—crucial for precise pulse ...

The Influence of Plasma Lensing Magnification on the Luminosity Function of Fast Radio Bursts

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Small-scale clumps of ionized gas have been suggested by observations in the interstellar medium and the circumgalactic medium. The propagation of radio signals can be deflected by these plasma clumps, i.e., plasma lensing.

Gravitational lensing phenomena of Ellis-Bronnikov-Morris-Thorne wormhole with global monopole and cosmic string

open access: yesPhysics Letters B
In this paper, we theoretically investigate gravitational lensing within the space-time framework of traversable wormholes, focusing on the combined effects of a global monopole and a cosmic string.

Gravitational Lenses [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1988
The gravitational lensing phenomenon is a new observational tool in cosmology. It appears to occur reasonably frequently; several thousand examples probably are observable with current radio and optical telescopes. A dozen or so reasonable candidates have been proposed, but it has become clear that one must apply strong tests to distinguish between ...
