Abstract:
Many quasars that are gravitationally lensed exhibit flux ratio “anomalies” that cannot be explained under the hypothesis that the lensing potential is smooth on scales smaller than 1 kpc. Micro-lensing by stars is a natural source of granularity in the lens potential. the character of the expected fluctuations due to Micro-lensing depends sensitively on the relative surface densities of micro-lenses (stars) and smoothly distributed (dark) matter. Observations of flux ratios may therefore be used to infer the ratio of stellar to dark matter along the line of sight – typically at impact paramet

Abstract:
Gravitational micro-lensing due to stars in the deflecting galaxy influences the brightness and the spectra of the macro-images. Thus differences in the spectra of different macro-images are not automatically an argument against gravitational lensing. Furthermore changes in the spectra due to micro-lensing may give informations on the quasar structure. From high amplification events the brightness profile of the source may be obtained. The time scale of the high amplification event is proportional to the source radius and inverse proportional to the transversal velocity. Due to the large brigh

Abstract:
Gravitational micro-lensing can be used to obtain information 1) on the inner structure of active galactic nuclei and 2) on the distribution of compact masses in the range 10−4 … 102 solar masses. A regular monitoring of the most promising candidates for micro-lensing should be carried out. The strongest candidate is the macro-lensed quasar 2237+030, for which we expect a change in the luminosity ratio between the images of about 5 per cent per year.

Abstract:
AbstractThe most favourable methods of observing the phenomenon of gravitational lensing are through high-amplification events and the time delay between the images. These effects provide us with the information to determine the Hubble parameter and the matter distribution in the universe. The image properties due to micro-lensing can be used to find the size and structure of the source.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The vast majority of binaries containing a compact object and a regular star spend most of their time in a quiescent state where no strong interactions occur between components. Detection of these binaries is extremely challenging and only few candidates have been detected through optical spectroscopy. Self-lensing represents a new means of detecting compact objects in binaries, where gravitational lensing of the light from the visible component by the compact object produces periodic optical flares. Here we show that current and planned large-area optical surveys can detect a signifi

Abstract:
Abstract Studies of the inner regions of micro-lensed active galactic nucleus during caustic crossing events have often relied upon the approximation that the magnification near a fold caustic is inversely proportional to the square root of the source-caustic distance. We examine here the behaviour of the individual micro-images (one a micro-minimum of the light traveltime, the other a micro-saddle) that emerge as a point source crosses a micro-fold caustic. We provide a variety of statistics on both the behaviour of the two newly created micro-images and some parameters that appear in higher

Abstract:
The deflection of light by massive bodies has been of interest to mathematicians and physicists from time to time since Newton suggested the possibility in his 1704 work, “Opticks”. This deflection was calculated in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, treating light as a classical particle. The deflection was again calculated by Einstein in the early twentieth century, using his new general theory of relativity, to be twice the previous classical result. The measurement of the deflection of light passing close by the Sun was widely publicized as a dramatic confirmation o

Abstract:
‘Relativistic astrophysics’ outlines the relativity theory and lists some situations where this theory is needed: radio galaxies, micro-quasars, gamma rays, cosmic rays, neutron stars, x-ray sources, the solar system, and the universe. It goes on to explain muon lifetimes, rest-mass energy, plasma jets, shocks and particle acceleration, and synchrotron radiation. Einstein’s theory of general relativity is dependent on non-linear equations and the only exact solutions of Einstein’s equations that we have are ones with special symmetries. The phenomena of gravitational redshift, gravitational lensing, gravitational microlensing, deflection of light by the Sun, Shapiro delays, and pulsars and gravitational waves are then discussed.
