Dark Matter as Gravitational Solitons in the Weak Field Limit

open access: yesUniverse, 2020
In this paper, we will describe the idea that dark matter partly consists of gravitational solitons (gravisolitons). The corresponding solution is valid for weak gravitational fields (weak field limit) with respect to a background metric.

Lensing in the Blue. II. Estimating the Sensitivity of Stratospheric Balloons to Weak Gravitational Lensing

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The Superpressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope ( SuperBIT ) is a diffraction-limited, wide-field, 0.5 m, near-infrared to near-ultraviolet observatory designed to exploit the stratosphere’s space-like conditions.

Weak Gravitational Lensing by Voids [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
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]

open access: yesSymmetry, 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.

Gravitational lensing effects of black hole with conformally coupled scalar hair

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023
In this paper, we investigate the gravitational lensing effects in the weak and strong field limits of a static black hole with conformally coupled scalar field.

Time delay of photons coupled to Weyl tensor in a regular phantom black hole

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2020
Time delay of the photons coupled to the Weyl tensor in a regular phantom black hole is investigated in both weak and strong deflection gravitational lensing. We find that the time delay in the weak deflection lensing strongly depends on the phantom hair

Weak Gravitational Lensing by Dark Clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We calculate the abundance of dark-matter concentrations that are sufficiently overdense to produce a detectable weak-gravitational-lensing signal. Most of these overdensities are virialized halos containing identifiable X-ray and/or optical clusters ...

Degeneracy in exotic gravitational lensing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We present three different theoretically foreseen, but unusual, astrophysical situations where the gravitational lens equation ends up being the same, thus producing a degeneracy problem.

Gravitational lensing by a quantum deformed Schwarzschild black hole

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021
We investigate the weak and strong deflection gravitational lensing by a quantum deformed Schwarzschild black hole and find their observables. These lensing observables are evaluated and the detectability of the quantum deformation is assessed, after ...

Weak gravitational lensing with the Square Kilometre Array [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We investigate the capabilities of various stages of the SKA to perform world-leading weak gravitational lensing surveys. We outline a way forward to develop the tools needed for pursuing weak lensing in the radio band.
