These lectures give an introduction to Gravitational Lensing. We discuss lensing by point masses, lensing by galaxies, and lensing by clusters and larger-scale structures in the Universe. The relevant theory is developed and applications to astrophysical problems are discussed.

  1. JWST absorption line spectroscopy with SPURS: ISM covering fractions and kinematics in individual galaxies at $z=5-9$

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    JWST spectra of six z=5-9 galaxies show low-ionization covering fractions of 0.2-0.9 and diverse kinematics including blueshifted outflows, indicating heterogeneous multiphase ISM.

  2. Microlensing of fast and slow compact objects

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Microlensing surveys constrain fast and slow compact objects at masses and densities differing by orders of magnitude from dark matter limits due to speed-mass degeneracy in Einstein crossing times.

  3. Global structure of the time delay likelihood

    stat.ME 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Time delay likelihoods modeled with Gaussian processes develop a boundary-driven W-shape with a global maximum at the true delay and rises at observation window edges, misleading nested sampling and biasing H0 high.

  4. Multi-wavelength Constraints on the Transient EP250905a

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    EP250905a is best explained as a mildly off-axis structured-jet afterglow at z=2.714, possibly weakly magnified by a foreground galaxy at z=0.374.

  5. A new $H_0$ measurement with SNe Requiem and Encore using $\texttt{Gravity.jl}$

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    A Gravity.jl strong-lensing model of MACS J0138 yields H0 = 67.0 +9.3/-7.8 km/s/Mpc from the measured time delays of SN Requiem and SN Encore.

  6. A new $H_0$ measurement with SNe Requiem and Encore using $\texttt{Gravity.jl}$

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.

  7. A new $H_0$ measurement with SNe Requiem and Encore using $\texttt{Gravity.jl}$

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    A Bayesian parametric lens model of MACS J0138 using Gravity.jl yields H0 = 67.0 +9.3/-7.8 km/s/Mpc from the time delays of SN Requiem and SN Encore.

  8. Constraining Orbital Eccentricity of a Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidate PKS 2131-0211

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Bayesian fitting of an eccentric Keplerian orbit to the radio light curve of PKS 2131-021 gives e = 0.053 ± 0.015 without red noise but favors a circular orbit plus DRW noise with e < 0.15.

  9. COOL-LAMPS IX: A Rare Duo of Quasars Each Lensed by a Single Massive Galaxy Cluster

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 accept novelty 4.0

    A single galaxy cluster lenses two quasars (one Type I at z=1.524, one dust-obscured Type II at z=1.939) into four images each, yielding a projected mass of ~3.3e14 solar masses within 500 kpc and time delays of hundr...

  10. A Forward, Analytic, Differentiable, Geometric (But Inflexible) Lens Model

    astro-ph.GA 2026-04 conditional novelty 4.0

    The SIEP+XS_|| model supplies an analytic forward mapping from source to image plane for gravitational lensing, offering large speed gains and geometric checks but with an inflexible elliptical equipotential.

  11. Gravitational Lensing as an Optical Framework for Modified Gravity Theories

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Gravitational lensing is recast as an optical phenomenon governed by effective refractive index, yielding closed-form deflection angles and Einstein radii for modified gravity models including deep-MOND, Yukawa, and p...
