The Geometry of Gravitational Lensing: Magnification Relations, Observables, and Kerr Black Holes
<p>Gravitational lensing is the study of the bending of light by gravity. In such a scenario, light rays from a background star are deflected as they pass by a foreground galaxy (the lens). If the lens is massive enough, then multiple copies of the light source, called lensed images, are prod...
