  2. Einstein ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_ring

    An Einstein Ring is a special case of gravitational lensing, caused by the exact alignment of the source, lens, and observer. This results in symmetry around the lens, causing a ring-like structure. [2] The geometry of a complete Einstein ring, as caused by a gravitational lens. The size of an Einstein ring is given by the Einstein radius.

  3. Gravitational microlensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_microlensing

    In these events, the only physically significant parameter that can be measured is the Einstein timescale . However, in some cases, events can be analyzed to yield the additional parameters of the Einstein angle and parallax: and . These include very high magnification events, binary lenses, parallax, and xallarap events, and events where the ...

    The European Space Agency (ESA) said Monday that its Euclid space telescope has detected a rare bright halo of light around a nearby galaxy.. Known as an Einstein ring, the halo was captured in ...

  5. Gravitational lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens

    A light source passes behind a gravitational lens (invisible point mass placed in the center of the image). The aqua circle is the light source as it would be seen if there were no lens, while white spots are the multiple images of the source (see Einstein ring).

  6. Relativistic images - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_images

    Relativistic Einstein rings are ringed shaped images occurring due to light deflection ^ > when the light source, the lens (the deflector), and the observer are perfectly aligned. Obviously, relativistic Einstein rings are relativistic images for the case when the source, lens, and observer are aligned.

    A new photograph from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a stunning “Einstein Ring” billions of light-years from Earth — a phenomenon named after Albert Einstein.

  8. Strong gravitational lensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_gravitational_lensing

    Strong gravitational lensing is a gravitational lensing effect that is strong enough to produce multiple images, arcs, or Einstein rings. Generally, for strong lensing to occur, the projected lens mass density must be greater than the critical density, that is . For point-like background sources, there will be multiple images; for extended ...

    Video simulation of the merger GW150914, showing spacetime distortion from gravity as the black holes orbit and merge. The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated physics theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. [1]
