Gravitational Lenses

  • Chapter
The Post-Recombination Universe

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 240))

Abstract

After some introductory comments on basic gravitational lens theory, we discuss briefly the probability of lensinq and the present state of the determination of Ho and the mass of the deflector in gravitational lens systems. Then follows a more detailed discussion on astrophysical applications of micro-lensing.
