Computational Methods for Gravitational Lensing
read the original abstract
Modern applications of strong gravitational lensing require the ability to use precise and varied observational data to constrain complex lens models. I discuss two sets of computational methods for lensing calculations. The first is a new algorithm for solving the lens equation for general mass distributions. This algorithm makes it possible to apply arbitrarily complicated models to observed lenses. The second is an evaluation of techniques for using observational data including positions, fluxes, and time delays of point-like images, as well as maps of extended images, to constrain models of strong lenses. The techniques presented here are implemented in a flexible and user-friendly software package called gravlens, which is made available to the community.

Determining the spatial origin of X-ray and optical emission in the $z = 3.1$ strongly lensed radio-quiet quasar GraL J065904.1+162909 to hundreds of parsecs
A lens model from Gaia DR3 and HST data combined with a Bayesian test on Chandra observations constrains the X-ray emission origin in lensed quasar J0659 to a 0.020 × 0.010 arcsec ellipse offset 0.014 arcsec from the ...

Can third- and fourth-order multipoles plus radial variation of iso-density ellipses explain the observed flux ratios in B1422$+$231? YES, and a lesson learned from a TNG100 lensing galaxy sample
Third- and fourth-order multipoles plus radial iso-density variations extracted from TNG100 can fully explain B1422+231 positions and flux ratios under realistic uncertainties, without clumpy substructure.
