GRAVITATIONAL LENSING
Gravitational lensing has become a ubiquitous tool in astronomy, from the search
for extrasolar planets to the quest to map the cosmic mass distribution. Dodelson s
book hits the nail right on the head, presenting the subject in the simplest way
possible, but still with all requisite rigor. A spectacular collection of problems
complements the presentation to make for an outstanding pedagogical tool.
This is a great book!
Marc Kamionkowski, Johns Hopkins University, USA
Gravitational lensing is a consequence of general relativity, where the gravitational
force due to a massive object bends the paths of light originating from distant objects
lying behind it. Using very little general relativity and no higher level mathematics, this
text presents the basics of gravitational lensing, focusing on the equations needed to
understand the phenomenon. It then applies them to a diverse set of topics, including
multiply imaged objects, time delays, extrasolar planets, microlensing, cluster masses,
galaxy shape measurements, cosmic shear, and lensing of the cosmic microwave
background. This approach allows undergraduate students and others to get quickly
up to speed on the basics and the important issues. The text will be especially relevant
as large surveys such as LSST and Euclid begin to dominate the astronomical landscape.
Designed for a one-semester course, it is accessible to anyone with two years of
undergraduate physics background.
SCOTT DODELSON is a Distinguished Scientist at Fermilab and Professor in the
Department of Astrophysics and Astronomy at the University of Chicago. He has
written more than 180 research papers on the connections between physics and
astronomy. He is the author of Modern Cosmology, a standard graduate textbook, and
he has recently taken leadership roles in surveys that employ gravitational lensing as
a tool to get at basic physics. Through these roles and by teaching courses devoted to
lensing, he realized that learning enough about lensing to begin research is both simple
and rewarding. This volume was written to help potential researchers at all levels learn
this fascinating, rapidly emerging field.
