    The foundational paper of galactic microlensing. The basic features of galactic microlensing and its potential as a probe of massive compact objects as dark matter are discussed. This influential paper spurred a number of gravitational lensing experiments. (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)

    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)

    At the time of writing, this is the most accurate measurement of Hubble's constant using a gravitational lens. This rather dense paper explores the most serious sources of systematic error, and includes their mitigation in the final uncertainty estimate. (A)

    This paper describes mass measurements of a particular merging cluster system, the "Bullet Cluster," showing how gravitational lensing can be used to measure the mass of a structure that is not in dynamical equilibrium, and without assuming that "mass follows light." (In this case, it does not!) It also demonstrates how noise in the weak-lensing data can affect the centers of the inferred two-dimensional mass distributions.

    This paper describes a type of lensing that is between the strong and weak-lensing limits: only single images are formed, but lensing introduces a measurable curvature to the galaxy shape. There is some theoretical promise for this "flexion" improving the combination of strong and weak-lensing data, but current attempts to measure the effect have shown it to be difficult.

    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)
