    This presents a galaxy-galaxy lensing study using a database large enough to subdivide the foreground galaxy sample by various properties, and still obtain a high signal-to-noise measurement of the mass profiles. (A)

    A concise paper that combines strong and weak lensing constraints with stellar kinematics to show that the initial mass function of massive (lens) galaxies is not consistent with light ones such as those advocated for spiral galaxies. (A)

    In recent years, the citizen scientists of Galaxy Zoo have been carrying out their own search, rediscovering known lenses and finding interesting new candidates in the SDSS and HST image archives. They can be followed (and joined!) at the Galaxy Zoo forum. (E, I)

    Used microlensing to learn about the granularity of the mass distribution in galaxies and therefore infer an absolute measurement of the dark matter and stellar content. This is a beautiful example of single-epoch microlensing applications. (A)

    The deflection of during an eclipse was the first observation of lensing in the universe, but there would not be another for 60 years. However, in the 1930s, Fritz Zwicky predicted that galaxies and clusters of galaxies would make good gravitational lenses as well, in this prescient paper. (A)

    This paper studies how the distribution of faint, background galaxies is affected by the presence of bright, foreground galaxies, and models this as a product of weak lensing magnification. (A)

    While not the first attempt at reconstructing extended lensed sources, this paper provides a good introduction to the topic: much of the galaxy-scale lens modeling work of the last decade builds on this paper. (A)

    LoCuSS is a large sample of nearby galaxy clusters with good weak lensing and X-ray measurements; Zhang, et al., use these clusters to investigate the agreement between mass estimates based on X-ray and weak lensing, and provide a good discussion of potential sources of errors in both of these methods.

    Quiescent galaxies are more numerous sources, but are even fainter than quasars: it would take the advent of CCD imaging cameras to detect the first gravitational arc. It was not clear what the arc was: a deep spectrum revealed it to be a background galaxy, observed at high magnification through the lens. (A)

    This paper discusses the impact on cosmological-parameter measurement from cosmic-shear surveys owing to a variety of systematic errors. Of particular importance are the intrinsic alignments of galaxy shapes (prior to their being lensed) and the accuracy with which the lensed-galaxies redshifts can be estimated from their colors alone.
