Plasma lensing in comparison to gravitational lensing -- Formalism and degeneracies

Jenny Wagner, Xinzhong Er

Gravitational and plasma lensing share the same mathematical formalism in the limit of geometrical optics. Both phenomena can be effectively described by a projected, two-dimension…

Self-gravitating dark matter gets in shape

Jenny Wagner

In our current best cosmological model, the vast majority of matter in the Universe is dark, consisting of yet undetected, non-baryonic particles that do not interact electro-magne…

Extended lens reconstructions with Grale: exploiting time domain, substructural and weak-lensing information

Jori Liesenborgs, Liliya L. R. Williams, Jenny Wagner +1

The information about the mass density of galaxy clusters provided by the gravitational lens effect has inspired many inversion techniques. In this article, updates to the previous…

Cosmic structures from a mathematical perspective 1. Dark matter halo mass density profiles

Jenny Wagner

The shapes of individual self-gravitating structures of an ensemble of identical, collisionless particles have remained elusive for decades. In particular, a reason why mass densit…

Model-independent and model-based local lensing properties of B0128+437 from resolved quasar images

Jenny Wagner, Liliya L. R. Williams

The galaxy-scale gravitational lens B0128+437 generates a quadrupole-image configuration of a background quasar that shows milli-arcsecond-scale subcomponents in the multiple image…

A model-independent characterisation of strong gravitational lensing by observables

Jenny Wagner

When light from a distant source object, like a galaxy or a supernova, travels towards us, it is deflected by massive objects that lie on its path. When the mass density of the def…
