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 ...

Weak gravitational lensing by voids [PDF]
We consider the prospects for detecting weak gravitational lensing by underdensities (voids) in the large-scale matter distribution. We derive the basic expressions for magnification and distortion by spherical voids. Clustering of the background sources

Image simulations for strong and weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
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 ...

Shadow revisiting and weak gravitational lensing with Chern-Simons modification [PDF]
Dynamical Chern-Simons (dCS) gravity has been attracting plenty of attentions due to the fact that it is a parity-violating modified theory of gravity that corresponds to a well-posed effective field theory in weak coupling approximation.

Weak gravitational lensing Schwarzschild-MOG black hole in plasma
This paper is devoted to study weak gravitational lensing properties around black hole surrounded plasma medium in modified gravity (MOG). We have investigated the effects of the MOG-parametr and plasma medium on the deflection angle and total ...

Cosmological model differentiation through weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
We investigate the potential of weak gravitational lensing maps to differentiate between distinct cosmological models, considering cosmic variance due to a limited map extension and the presence of noise.

The Ray Bundle method for calculating weak magnification by gravitational lenses [PDF]
We present here an alternative method for calculating magnifications in gravitational lensing calculations -- the Ray Bundle method. We provide a detailed comparison between the distribution of magnifications obtained compared with analytic results and conventional ray-shooting methods.
