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)

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)

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)
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)
