Gravitational Lenses and the Hubble Constant : Present and Future
arXiv:astro-ph/9801315 · doi:10.1023/A:1002042026159
Abstract
The best studied gravitational lens is the Twin QSO Q0957+561, and as a result of recent advances in observations and modelling, a ten percent measurement of the Hubble constant is attainable. We discuss in detail this system and review the perspectives in a near future.
