Analytically solving Quadruple Image Configurations; starting from circles and going beyond |
The Flavours of Quadruple Lenses: Kite, Mouse-ears, Perfect; all with a tinge of eccentricity," is another apt title for the uninitiated. In this talk, we will try to find a closed-form solution of the quads for the asymptotically circular lens. Then, we generalize the solution to any possible lens and devise a method to model any possible lensed quasar. This approach isn't limited to gravitational lenses but is applicable even on the planets in our solar system. |
