    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 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.

    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 is a database of galaxy-scale gravitational lenses, listing their coordinates, their image astrometry, photometry and spectroscopic data and, for some systems, a list of references. The database is not complete, and some of the data are unreliable or out of date, so it is important to double check the information (A).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).

    This review summarizes the first decade of development of weak lensing, tying together the mathematical basis for how lensing works with qualitative descriptions of early results from the field. While some of the specific details of how various aspects of the weak-lensing signal are measured and modeled have changed in the intervening 13 years, this article is still an excellent starting point for someone wanting to the learn the basics of how weak lensing works in practice.
