    The SQLS project was similar to the CLASS survey in that a combination of spectra and imaging was used to make a statistical lens sample, but the data was all taken in the optical and near infrared. (A)

    The CLASS survey involved a hierarchical tree of ever-higher resolution radio imaging of flat spectrum radio sources with unusual morphologies. By focusing on the sources, not the lenses, the team was able to select the first well-defined, statistically complete sample of lensed objects. (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 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.

    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 review contains an extremely in-depth discussion of the basics of weak gravitational lensing, with full mathematical derivations of all of the concepts known as of 2000. This review is an excellent starting point for a graduate student wanting to learn the details of weak lensing observations and theory. This review allows us to limit the number of introductory papers in the following sections and concentrate on papers giving more recent developments in the field (A).
