Gravitational lensing and modified Newtonian dynamics [PDF]
, 2001 Gravitational lensing is most often used as a tool to investigate the distribution of (dark) matter in the universe, but, if the mass distribution is known a priori, it becomes, at least in principle, a powerful probe of gravity itself.

Weak Gravitational Lensing [PDF]
Proceedings of Frontiers of Fundamental Physics 14 — PoS(FFP14), 2008 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

Evolving Morphology of Resolved Stellar Einstein Rings
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We consider strong gravitational lensing by nearby stars. Using our wave-optical treatment of lensing phenomena, we study Einstein rings that may form around nearby stellar lenses.

Weak Lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background by Foreground Gravitational Waves [PDF]
, 2006 Weak lensing distortion of the background cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization patterns by the foreground density fluctuations is well studied in the literature.

Shadow and Weak Deflection Angle of a Black Hole in Nonlocal Gravity
Universe, 2022 Black hole shadow and gravitational lensing play important roles in testing gravitational theories in the strong field regime. As the first-order modifications from quantum gravity, the nonlocality can be manifested by black hole shadow and gravitational

Universe, 2023 In the present paper, strong deflection gravitational lensing is studied in a conformal gravity black hole. With the help of geometric optics limits, we have formulated the light cone conditions for the photons coupled to the Weyl tensor in a conformal ...

Effects of early dark energy on strong cluster lensing [PDF]
, 2006 We use the semi-analytic method developed by Fedeli et al. for computing strong-lensing optical depths to study the statistics of gravitational arcs in four dark-energy cosmologies. Specifically, we focus on models with early dark energy and compare them

Einstein beams and the diffractive aspect of gravitationally-lensed light
New Journal of Physics, 2023 The study of light lensed by cosmic matter has yielded much information about astrophysical questions. Observations are explained using geometrical optics following a ray-based description of light.

Numerical wave optics and the lensing of gravitational waves by globular clusters
, 2007 We consider the possible effects of gravitational lensing by globular clusters on gravitational waves from asymmetric neutron stars in our galaxy. In the lensing of gravitational waves, the long wavelength, compared with the usual case of optical lensing,
