Strong Deflection Gravitational Lensing for the Photons Coupled to the Weyl Tensor in a Conformal Gravity Black Hole

open access: yesUniverse, 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 ...

Nebulae as Gravitational Lenses [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review, 1937
Einstein recently published (1) some calculations concerning a suggestion made by R. W. Mandl, namely, that a star B may act as a "gravitational lens" for light coming from another star A which lies closely enough on the line of sight behind B. As Einstein remarks the chance to observe this effect for stars is extremely small.

Aberration in gravitational lensing [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2008
It is known that a relative translational motion between the deflector and the observer affects gravitational lensing. In this paper, a lens equation is obtained to describe such effects on actual lensing observables. Results can be easily interpreted in terms of aberration of light-rays.

Einstein beams and the diffractive aspect of gravitationally-lensed light

open access: yesNew 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.

Shadow and Weak Deflection Angle of a Black Hole in Nonlocal Gravity

open access: yesUniverse, 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

Statistical methods in weak gravitational lensing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This thesis studies several topics in the area of weak gravitational lensing and addresses some key statistical problems within this subject. A large part of the thesis concerns the measurement of galaxy shapes for weak gravitational lensing and the ...

Gravitational Lensing Effects from Models of Loop Quantum Gravity with Rigorous Quantum Parameters

open access: yesUniverse
Many previous works have studied gravitational lensing effects from Loop Quantum Gravity. So far, gravitational lensing effects from Loop Quantum Gravity have only been studied by choosing large quantum parameters much larger than the Planck scale ...

Gravitational Lensing [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights of Astronomy, 1992
AbstractAtmospheric lensing effects deform our view of distant objects; similarly, without any doubt, gravitational lensing perturbs our view of the distant Universe and affects our physical understanding of various classes of extragalactic objects.

Time delay of light in the gravitational lensing of supermassive black holes in dark matter halos

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
The dark matter halo has non-negligible effects on the gravitational lensing of supermassive black hole in the galaxy center. Our work presents a study on the time-delay of light in gravitational lensing of black holes enclosed by dark matter halos.
