Quasar Lensing
read the original abstract
Massive structures, such as galaxies, act as strong gravitational lenses on background sources. When the background source is a quasar, several lensed images are seen, as magnified or de-magnified versions of the same object. The detailed study of the image configuration and the measurement of ``time-delays'' between the images yield estimates of the Hubble parameter H_0. We describe in a simple way the phenomenon of strong lensing and review recent progress made in the field, including microlensing by stars in the main lensing galaxy.

Speeding up Gravitational Lens Mass Models with Machine Learning: Applications in X-ray Astronomy
A fully connected network trained on millions of simulated quads predicts SIE lens mass and ellipticity from four image positions, cutting optimisation time for real and simulated quadruply lensed quasars to minutes.
