This thesis contributes to the field of gravitational lensing (GL) and observational cosmology. We discuss the use of gravitational lensing as a tool in search of exotic objects in the Universe. In the next chapter the concordance of an alternative...
or crystalline lens, is a transparent biconvex structure in most land vertebrate eyes. Relatively long, thin fiber cells make up the majority of the lens
We prove that every lens space contains a genus one homologically fibered knot, which is contrast to the fact that some lens spaces contain no genus one fibered knot. In the proof, the Chebotarev density theorem and binary quadratic forms in number t...
A lens flare is a visual artifact caused by light scattering, or flaring, in a lens system. This can happen through light scattered by the imaging mechanism
In this paper, we study gravitational lensing by groups of galaxies. Since groups are abundant and therefore have a large covering fraction on the sky, lensing by groups is likely to be very important observationally. Besides, it has recently becom...
I've noticed a lot of posts asking about contact lenses recently, so here is an overview of some basic information, from someone who's been wearing prescription contact lenses daily for several years ...
Cooke manufactures a wide range of lenses suitable for various film applications. All lenses are colour matched, enabling you to interchange with confidence and streamline processes. Easily maintained, …

This study presents a prospective concept of a mechanically reconfigurable Gradient Index (GRIN) lens for focusing and beamforming applications. The lens is formed by corrugated layers, each realizing a refractive index profile expressed in a basis o...
Earth Lens, a Microsoft Garage project is an iOS iPad application that helps people and organizations quickly identify and classify objects in aerial imagery through the power of machine learning. (⭐ 53)
Relational lenses are a modern approach to the view update problem in relational databases. As introduced by Bohannon et al. (2006), relational lenses allow the definition of updatable views by the composition of lenses performing individual transfor...
A triplet lens is a compound lens consisting of three single lenses. The triplet design is the simplest to give the required number of degrees of freedom
We determine the mass scale of Planck galaxy clusters using gravitational lensing mass measurements from the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH). We have compared the lensing masses to the Planck Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) mass proxy...
We search for signatures of gravitational lensing in the binary black hole events detected by Advanced LIGO and Virgo during their first two observational runs. In particular, we look for three effects: 1) evidence of lensing magnification in the ind...
This Resource Letter provides a guide to a selection of the literature on gravitational lensing and its applications. Journal articles, books, popular articles, and websites are cited for the following topics: foundations of gravitational lensing, fo...
Helios-44 is a Soviet copy of the Carl Zeiss Biotar 58mm ƒ/2 lens produced under the Helios lens brand. The lens was made in the Soviet Union and Russia
This tool lets you check the compatibility of your Pentax digital camera with any Pentax lens or any current third-party lens. Type a partial name to see suggestions.
A new cosmic shear analysis pipeline SUNGLASS (Simulated UNiverses for Gravitational Lensing Analysis and Shear Surveys) is introduced. SUNGLASS is a pipeline that rapidly generates simulated universes for weak lensing and cosmic shear analysis. The...
