Shapelets, R. Massey and A. Refregier - 0 views

  •  
    Software for measuring galaxy shapes in images, including the PSF correction. Comes with some documentation, but also has a steep learning curves if is to be used effectively. We strongly encourage testing the software on the GREAT/STEP simulations before using them on actual data. (A).

Quantitative Interpretation of Quasar Microlensing Light Curves. C.S. Kochanek, Astroph... - 0 views

  •  
    Introduced a new method to analyze and interpret quasar microlensing light curves. In the process it gave a good description of the physical picture. (A)

  •  
    Used microlensing to learn about the granularity of the mass distribution in galaxies and therefore infer an absolute measurement of the dark matter and stellar content. This is a beautiful example of single-epoch microlensing applications. (A)

Gravitational microlensing by the galactic halo, B. Paczynski, Astrophys. J. 304, 1-5 (... - 0 views

  •  
    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)

Gravitational Microlensing in the Local Group, B.Paczynski, Ann. Rev. Astron. Astrophys... - 0 views

  •  
    A comprehensive review of microlensing, covering the history of the field, its theoretical foundations, a critical review of observational results at the time of its writing and a discussion of future prospects. (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)

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)

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)

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)

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)
Tommaso Treu

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)

The Galaxy Zoo Forum: Possible strong gravitational lenses - 0 views

  •  
    In recent years, the citizen scientists of Galaxy Zoo have been carrying out their own search, rediscovering known lenses and finding interesting new candidates in the SDSS and HST image archives. They can be followed (and joined!) at the Galaxy Zoo forum. (E, I)

A New Survey for Giant Arcs, J. F. Hennawi, et al., Astronom J. 135, 664-681 (2008) - 0 views

  •  
    Gravitational lensing on the cluster scale is readily observed in almost all of the most massive systems, provided the image resolution and depth are high enough. "Blind" imaging surveys have also been carried out, most notably using SDSS data. Describes the candidate selection and confirmation of 16 new cluster-scale lenses. (A)
