LENSVIEW: software for modeling resolved gravitational lens images, R. Wayth and R. Web... - 0 views

  •  
    This code finds the best-fitting simple-lens model, while reconstructing an extended source on a pixelated grid, given image data. (A)

A Bayesian approach to strong lensing modelling of galaxy clusters, E. Jullo, J.-P. Kne... - 0 views

  •  
    LensTool has been used extensively throughout the literature; this paper provides a good introduction and an overview of its more recently added capabilities. (A)

Semilinear Gravitational Lens Inversion, S. J. Warren and S. Dye, Astrophys. J. 590, 67... - 0 views

  •  
    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)

LensTool, J.-P. Kneib and E. Jullo - 0 views

  •  
    The lens and source models are similar to GravLens, but exploration of the parameter space proceeds differently, to cope with the more complex cluster systems. The options are manual iteration (for which a graphical interface is provided), and Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling. Weak lensing data can also be included in a joint fit. (A)

GravLens, C.R. Keeton - 0 views

  •  
    This code provides an extensive range of simplyparameterized mass models, and a high-resolution lens-equation solver for precise pointlike image position, flux, and time-delay prediction. Likelihood maximization can be performed. (A)

A statistical study of weak lensing by triaxial dark matter haloes: consequences for pa... - 0 views

  •  
    This paper investigates an error that pervades mass measurements with weak lensing, namely the assumption of a spherical mass model when fitting a non-spherical system. It gives theoretical expectations of the effect from N-body simulations and analytic tri-axial mass models. (A)

  •  
    This Java applet allows the user to explore simple models for the lens mass and source light, by manipulating the model components on the screen with the mouse. (I,A)

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)

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).

The Dark Matter Distribution in A383: Evidence for a Shallow Density Cusp from Improved... - 0 views

  •  
    A good example of astronomers attempting to combine information from several sources to constrain a self-consistent model of a cluster gravitational potential. (A)

GLAMROC: Gravitational Lens Adaptive Mesh Raytracing of Catastrophes, E. A. Baltz - 0 views

  •  
    This adaptive mesh ray-tracing code was written to allow exploration of lensing effects near critical points in the source plane, where very high magnifications can be achieved. (A)

Subaru Weak Lensing Measurements of Four Strong Lensing Clusters: Are Lensing Clusters ... - 0 views

  •  
    This paper investigates an error that pervades mass measurements with weak lensing, namely the assumption of a spherical mass model when fitting a non-spherical system. It explores whether the departure from the expected concentrations of certain clusters is a result of this effect. (A)

Evidence of the accelerated expansion of the Universe from weak lensing tomography with... - 0 views

  •  
    This paper describes measurements of cosmic shear from a 2 square degree Hubble Space Telescope survey, combined with photometric redshifts of the lensed galaxies. The addition of the photometric redshifts allowed the authors to measure the evolution of the mass power-spectrum, which provides additional information about the cosmological model beyond what the integrated power-spectrum can provide.

HST Gravitational Lens Image Creator: Medium Deep Survey team - 0 views

  •  
    With the emphasis on generating mock data rather than modeling real data, this Javascript tool takes input lens, source and HST WFPC2 observation parameters and generates a predicted JPG image. (I,A)

  •  
    Gravitational lensing can be demonstrated and explored using physical models with equivalent optical properties - the base of a wineglass is an excellent example, as these authors showed.
