Introduction to Gravitational LensingWith Python Examples /[electronic resource] :by Massimo Meneghetti. - 1st ed. 2021. - XIII, 412 p. 131 illus., 120 illus. in color.online resource. - Lecture Notes in Physics,9561616-6361 ;. - Lecture Notes in Physics,891.

Light deflection -- The general lens -- Microlensing -- Strong lensing by galaxies and galaxy clusters -- Weak lensing by virialized structures -- Weak lensing by the large-scale-structure -- Lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background.

This book introduces the phenomenology of gravitational lensing in an accessible manner and provides a thorough discussion of the related astrophysical applications. It is intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students who want to start working in this rapidly evolving field. This includes also senior researchers who are interested in ongoing or future surveys and missions such as DES, Euclid, WFIRST, LSST. The reader is guided through many fascinating topics related to gravitational lensing like the structure of our galaxy, the searching for exoplanets, the investigation of dark matter in galaxies and galaxy clusters, and several aspects of cosmology, including dark energy and the cosmic microwave background. The author, who has gained valuable experience as academic teacher, guides the readers towards the comprehension of the theory of gravitational lensing and related observational techniques by using simple codes written in python. This approach, beyond facilitating the understanding of gravitational lensing, is preparatory for learning the python programming language which is gaining large popularity both in academia and in the private sector.
