Generalised model-independent characterisation of strong gravitational lenses [PDF]
Based on the standard gravitational lensing formalism with its effective, projected lensing potential in a given background cosmology, we investigated under which transformations of the source position and of the deflection angle the observable properties of the multiple images remain invariant.

Particle dark matter searches in the anisotropic sky [PDF]
Anisotropies in the electromagnetic emission produced by dark matter annihilation or decay in the extragalactic sky are a recent tool in the quest for a particle dark matter evidence.

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 ...

Exploring Weak Gravitational Lensing Effects by a Regular Black Hole
Gravitational lensing is one of the physical consequences of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which has been observationally confirmed. This work aims to study the weak gravitational lensing scenario where the lens is a spherically symmetric ...

Strong gravitational lensing in Horndeski theory of gravity [PDF]
In this paper we build the general formalism of gravitational lensing in luminal Horndeski theories, deriving the Jacobi matrix equation and the general angular diameter distance in these theories through the screen space formalism.

Consistent clustering and lensing of SDSS-III BOSS galaxies with an extended abundance matching formalism [PDF]
Several analyses have shown that ΛCDM-based models cannot jointly describe the clustering (GC) and galaxy-galaxy lensing (GGL) of galaxies in the SDSS-III BOSS survey, which is commonly known as the “lensing-is-low problem”.

Prospects of testing late-time cosmology with weak lensing of gravitational waves and galaxy surveys [PDF]
We investigate the synergy of upcoming galaxy surveys and gravitational wave (GW) experiments in constraining late-time cosmology, examining the cross-correlations between the weak lensing of gravitational waves (GW-WL) and the galaxy fields.

Modified gravitational wave propagation with higher modes and its degeneracies with lensing [PDF]
Low-energy alternatives to General Relativity (GR) generically modify the phase of gravitational waves (GWs) during their propagation. As detector sensitivities increase, it becomes key to understand how these modifications affect the GW higher modes and

Strong gravitational lensing by rotating Simpson-Visser black holes [PDF]
We investigate strong field gravitational lensing by rotating Simpson-Visser black hole, which has an additional parameter (0 ≤ l/2M ≤ 1), apart from mass (M) and rotation parameter (a).

Line-of-sight effects in strong gravitational lensing [PDF]
While most strong-gravitational-lensing systems may be roughly modelled by a single massive object between the source and the observer, in the details all the structures near the light path contribute to the observed images.
