    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)

    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 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 paper describes further 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." Strong lensing information is combined in a joint analysis, improving the accuracy of the mass peak positions.

    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.

  • Phil Marshall on 02 Jun 12
     
    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.
