Toward an Optimal Reconstruction of the Shear Field with PDF-folding
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Weak lensing provides a direct way of mapping the density distribution in the Universe. To reconstruct the density field from the shear catalog, an important step is to build the shear field from the shear catalog, which can be quite nontrivial due to ...

Weak Gravitational Lensing around Bardeen Black Hole with a String Cloud in the Presence of Plasma
Symmetry, 2023 The effect of spacetime curvature on optical properties may provide an opportunity to suggest new tests for gravity theories. In this paper, we investigated gravitational weak lensing around a Bardeen black hole with the string clouds parameter.

Testing Velocity-field Lensing on IllustrisTNG Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Weak gravitational lensing shear could be measured far more precisely if information about unlensed attributes of source galaxies were available. Disk galaxy velocity fields supply such information, at least in principle, with idealized models predicting

Circular orbit of a particle and weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2020 The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce a geometric approach to study the circular orbit of a particle in static and spherically symmetric spacetime based on Jacobi metric.

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 ...

KiDS-1000 methodology: Modelling and inference for joint weak gravitational lensing and spectroscopic galaxy clustering analysis [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 We present the methodology for a joint cosmological analysis of weak gravitational lensing from the fourth data release of the ESO Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-1000) and galaxy clustering from the partially overlapping Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey

Second-order weak lensing from modified gravity [PDF]
, 2011 We explore the sensitivity of weak gravitational lensing to second-order corrections to the spacetime metric within a cosmological adaptation of the parameterized post-Newtonian framework.

Weak gravitational lensing with DEIMOS [PDF]
, 2011 We introduce a novel method for weak-lensing measurements, which is based on a mathematically exact deconvolution of the moments of the apparent brightness distribution of galaxies from the telescope's PSF.

Shadows and weak gravitational lensing for black holes within Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory [PDF]
Chinese Physics C, High Energy Physics & Nuclear PhysicsIn this study, we investigated the optical properties of charged black holes within the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar (EMS) theory. We evaluated the shadow cast by these black holes and obtained analytical solutions for both the radius of the photon sphere and
