abstract
Many different families of mass models are used in modern applications of strong gravitational lensing. I review a wide range of popular models, with two points of emphasis: (1) a discussion of strategies for building models suited to a particular lensing problem; and (2) a summary of technical results for a canonical set of models. All of the models reviewed here are included in publicly-available lensing software called gravlens.

Spatially resolved λ(r) from the mass-sheet degeneracy quantifies the radial transition in reliability between strong and weak lensing mass reconstructions of galaxy clusters.
Composite time-delay lens modelling of JWST WFI2033–4723 yields intermediate stellar IMF normalisation and a steep gNFW inner slope γ_in≃1.3 that is robust to the choice of external cosmology.
Galaxy clusters have an average projected ellipticity of 0.310 with axis ratio 0.527, showing no significant mass or redshift dependence, measured via weak lensing on DES Y3 data and verified with mocks.
New H0 = 67.0 +9.3/-7.8 km/s/Mpc from joint lens-model fit to time delays of SN Requiem and SN Encore in MACS J0138.0-2155.
