Foreground biases in strong gravitational lensing
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle PhysicsAbstract Strong gravitational lensing is a competitive tool to probe the dark matter and energy content of the Universe. However, significant uncertainties can arise from the choice of lens model, and in particular the parameterisation of the line of sight.

Image Simulations for Strong and Weak Gravitational Lensing [PDF]
Symmetry, 2020 Gravitational lensing has been identified as a powerful tool to address fundamental problems in astrophysics at different scales, ranging from exoplanet identification to dark energy and dark matter characterization in cosmology. Image simulations have played a fundamental role in the realization of the full potential of gravitational lensing by ...

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract While gamified learning platforms show promise for engaging digital learners and promoting active learning, evidence of their effectiveness in predicting academic outcomes remains limited. This study examined how engagement patterns and incentives impact academic outcomes in a gamified environment to determine whether a formative question bank

Becoming inclusive: Developing pre‐service teachers' orientations towards their practice in Scotland
The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This article presents findings, from a case study with a cohort of third‐year undergraduate pre‐service teachers (PSTs) in Scotland, regarding their ideas about inclusion and curricular justice, as they concurrently encountered practice and theory.

The Astrophysical JournalStrongly lensed binary neutron star (NS–NS) mergers are expected to be observed once LIGO/Virgo/Kagra reaches the planned A+ or proposed A# sensitivity. We demonstrate that the relative transverse velocity of the source-lens system can be constrained by ...

Gravitational lensing around Kehagias–Sfetsos compact objects surrounded by plasma
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019 We study the optical properties of the Kehagias–Sfetsos (KS) compact objects, characterized by the “Hořava” parameter $$\omega _{_{KS}}$$ ωKS , in the presence of plasma, considering its homogeneous or power-law density distribution.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We report the discovery of COOL J0335−1927, a quasar at z = 3.27 lensed into three images with a maximum separation of 23.″3 by a galaxy cluster at z = 0.4178. To date, this is the highest redshift wide-separation lensed quasar known.

Strong gravitational lensing and dark energy complementarity [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2004 In the search for the nature of dark energy most cosmological probes measure simple functions of the expansion rate. While powerful, these all involve roughly the same dependence on the dark energy equation of state parameters, with anticorrelation between its present value w_0 and time variation w_a.

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.A new classification for inland freshwater palaeowetlands to be used in the field or core laboratory by sedimentologists, providing examples from the Guadix Basin (southern Spain). Abstract Present wetlands have proven to be delicate, biodiverse ecosystems, that are natural sinks for CO2 and act as good indicators for climate changes.
