Master Lens Database - 0 views

  •  
    The Master Lens Database http://masterlens.astro.utah.edu is the intended successor to CASTLeS: it contains much more extensive information (including lens model parameters) for a much larger, almost complete, sample of lenses. (A)
Phil Marshall

CASTLeS Gravitational Lens Data Base - 0 views

  •  
    This is a database of galaxy-scale gravitational lenses, listing their coordinates, their image astrometry, photometry and spectroscopic data and, for some systems, a list of references. The database is not complete, and some of the data are unreliable or out of date, so it is important to double check the information (A).

Introduction to Cosmology: B. S. Ryden (Addison Wesley, San Francisco, 2003). - 0 views

  •  
    An excellent introduction to cosmology and starting point to the study of gravitational lensing. Suitable for undergraduates with basic knowledge of calculus. (I,A)
Phil Marshall

Phil Marshall

Cosmological Applications of Gravitational Lensing: R.D. Blandford and R. Narajan, Ann.... - 0 views

  •  
    A classic review of the applications of strong gravitational lensing at a time when all strong lenses known could be discussed one by one. Still a very useful reference for the basic concepts. (A)
Phil Marshall

Strong lensing by galaxies: T. Treu, Ann. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 48, 87-125 (2010). - 0 views

  •  
    A review of the many astrophysical applications of strong gravitational lensing, focused on galaxy-scale deflectors. It includes applications to the study of the properties of galaxies, cosmography, and the use of lenses as natural telescopes. (A)

  •  
    A detailed review of strongly lensed quasars, with dual emphasis on gravitational time delays as a tool for cosmology, and on cosmological microlensing. (A)
Phil Marshall

Lens-like action of a star by the deviation of light in the gravitational fiel... - 0 views

  •  
    This classic paper marks the birth of microlensing, in making the jump from light deflection by our sun (as observed by Eddington, et al.) to that by other stars in our galaxy. (A)
Tommaso Treu

Massive Dark Matter Halos and Evolution of Early-Type Galaxies to z ~ 1. T. Treu and L.... - 0 views

  •  
    A clear illustration of the power of combining gravitational lensing with other diagnostics (in this case stellar kinematics) for the study of stars and dark matter in galaxies and their evolution over cosmic time. (A)
Douglas Clowe

Weak Gravitational Lensing and Its Cosmological Applications: H. Hoekstra and B. Jain, ... - 1 views

  •  
    A good qualitative summary of the methodology and results of weak lensing circa 2007, and is a good resource for a student wanting to learn about what weak lensing can tell us about cosmology without having to understand all of the math behind the models (I, A).
