A set of interactive lecture notes about strong gravitational lensing. This is work in progress.
The lecture notes are in the form of Jupyter notebooks and are making use of lenstronomy.
- lecture I: lensing basics
- lecture II: lensing observables and degeneracies
- lecture III: lens modelling
If you have feedback, please let me know!
There are also an additional set of educational notebooks available in the Examples folder.
