    This paper studies the change in number density of quasars with distance from bright galaxies and models the results as a gravitational lensing signal from the bright galaxies. It includes a discussion of the potential systematic errors in the measurements and why previous attempts at making this measurement were limited by the systematic errors. (A)

    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 The database is not complete, and some of the data are unreliable or out of date, so it is important to double check the information (A).

    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)

    A recent treatment of the substructure problem from a theoretical point of view. The authors compare predictions from numerical simulations with observations of strong lens flux-ratio anomalies and find that strong lenses may even indicate an excess of massive satellites. (A)

    This study of dark matter substructure in a cluster of galaxies, using both strong and weak lensing, covered an unprecedently wide dynamic range of cluster mass density and infalling group environments, and provided comparison with simulations regarding the cluster dark matter density profile.
