Strong lensing is a powerful tool to address three major astrophysical issues: understanding the spatial distribution of mass at kpc and sub-kpc scale, where baryons and dark matter interact to shape galaxies as we see them; determining the overall geometry, content, and kinematics of the universe; studying distant galaxies, black holes, and active nuclei that are too small or too faint to be resolved or detected with current instrumentation. After summarizing strong gravitational lensing fundamentals, I present a selection of recent important results. I conclude by discussing the exciting prospects of strong gravitational lensing in the next decade.

  1. Observational constraints on nonlocal black holes via gravitational lensing

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Nonlocal black holes remain consistent with general relativity at the 1.13-sigma level after joint lensing and quasinormal-mode constraints.

  2. KiDS+VIKING-450 cosmology with Bayesian hierarchical model redshift distributions

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 conditional novelty 4.0

    Bayesian hierarchical modeling of photometric redshifts in KiDS+VIKING-450 raises S8 to 0.756 ± 0.039 and reduces Planck tension to 1.9σ.
