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.

  1. Constraining Galaxy Cluster Triaxiality via Weak Lensing -- I. Preparation for the Rubin Data Beyond Leading Order

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.
