Geometric Outlines of the Gravitational Lensing and Its Astronomic Applications

Universe, 2023
Gravitational lensing is a topic of great application value in the field of astronomy. The properties and research methods of gravitational lensing are closely related to the geometric and relativistic characteristics of the background universe.

Gravitational Lensing of Acoustic Charged Black Holes

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We study the gravitational lensing of acoustic charged black holes in strong and weak field limit approximations. For this purpose, we first numerically obtain the deflection limit coefficients and deflection angle in the strong field limit.

Galaxy-scale Test of General Relativity with Strong Gravitational Lensing [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2021
Although general relativity (GR) has been precisely tested at the solar system scale, precise tests at a galactic or cosmological scale are still relatively insufficient.

Determination of Lens Mass Density Profile from Strongly Lensed Gravitational-wave Signals

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
As the interferometers detecting gravitational waves are upgraded, improving their sensitivity, the probability of observing strong lensing increases. Once a detection is made, it will be critical to gain as much information as possible about the lensing

deeplenstronomy: A dataset simulation package for strong gravitational lensing [PDF]

Journal of Open Source Software, 2021
Automated searches for strong gravitational lensing in optical imaging survey datasets often employ machine learning and deep learning approaches. These techniques require more example systems to train the algorithms than have presently been discovered ...

A Highly Magnified Gravitationally Lensed Red QSO at z = 2.5 with a Significant Flux Ratio Anomaly

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the discovery of a gravitationally lensed dust-reddened QSO at z = 2.517, identified in a survey for QSOs by infrared selection. Hubble Space Telescope imaging reveals a quadruply lensed system in a cusp configuration, with a maximum image ...

Identification of Galaxy–Galaxy Strong Lens Candidates in the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey Using Machine Learning

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We perform a search for galaxy–galaxy strong lens systems using a convolutional neural network (CNN) applied to imaging data from the first public data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey, which contains ∼520 million astronomical sources

Detecting and Characterizing Young Quasars. III. The Impact of Gravitational Lensing Magnification

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We test the impact of gravitational lensing on the lifetime estimates of seven high-redshift quasars at redshift z ≳ 6. The targeted quasars are identified by their small observed proximity zone sizes, which indicate extremely short quasar lifetimes ( t ...

Andromeda’s Parachute: Time Delays and Hubble Constant

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The gravitational lens system PS J0147+4630 (Andromeda’s Parachute) consists of four quasar images ABCD and a lensing galaxy. We obtained r -band light curves of ABCD in the 2017−2022 period from monitoring with two 2 m class telescopes.
