Null Cones in Schwarzschild Geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Light cones of Schwarzschild geometry are studied in connection to the Null Surface Formulation and gravitational lensing. The paper studies the light cone cut function's singularity structure, gives exact gravitational lensing equations, and shows that ...

Lensing of 21-cm Fluctuations by Primordial Gravitational Waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Weak-gravitational-lensing distortions to the intensity pattern of 21-cm radiation from the dark ages can be decomposed geometrically into curl and curl-free components.

Gravitational Lenses [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1993
In approximately half the systems currently recognized as strongly gravitationally lensed, the background object is an extragalactic radio source. Radio observations have played an important role in the identification of lensed systems, and the properties of radio sources allow some of the astrophysical applications of lensing to be realized.

Gravitational lensing of gravitational waves: wave nature and prospects for detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We discuss the gravitational lensing of gravitational wave signals from coalescing binaries. We delineate the regime where wave effects are significant from the regime where geometric limit can be used. Further, we focus on the effect of micro-lensing and the combined effect of strong lensing and micro-lensing.

Scattering of gravitational radiation. Intensity fluctuations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Aims. The effect of gravitational microlensing on the intensity of gravitational radiation as it propagates through an inhomogeneous medium is considered. Lensing by both stars and a power law spectrum of density perturbations is examined.

Numerical wave optics and the lensing of gravitational waves by globular clusters

open access: yes, 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,

Gravitational Lensing in Clusters of Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Gravitational lensing in clusters of galaxies is an efficient tool to probe the mass distribution of galaxies and clusters, high redshift objects thanks to the gravitational amplification, and the geometry of the universe.

Weak Lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background by Foreground Gravitational Waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Exact gravitational lensing and rotation curve [PDF]

open access: yesGen.Rel.Grav.43:143-154,2011, 2009
Based on the geodesic equation in a static spherically symmetric metric we discuss the rotation curve and gravitational lensing. The rotation curve determines one function in the metric without assuming Einstein's equations. Then lensing is considered in the weak field approximation of general relativity.

Relationship between High-Energy Absorption Cross Section and Strong Gravitational Lensing for Black Hole

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper, we obtain a relation between the high-energy absorption cross section and the strong gravitational lensing for a static and spherically symmetric black hole. It provides us a possible way to measure the high-energy absorption cross section
