    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)

    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)

    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)

    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 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)
