Direct Observation of Cosmic Strings via their Strong Gravitational Lensing Effect: I. Predictions for High Resolution Imaging Surveys
Maria Alice Gasparini, Phil Marshall, Tommaso Treu +2
We use current theoretical estimates for the density of long cosmic strings to predict the number of strong gravitational lensing events in astronomical imaging surveys as a functi…

Microlensing modulation by quadrupole variation
Florian Dubath, Maria Alice Gasparini, Ruth Durrer
We investigate microlensing in the case where the lens is considered as an extended object. We use a multipolar expansion of the lens potential and show that the time-varying natur…
