  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.

    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. 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 Σ c r {\displaystyle \Sigma _{cr}} .

    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.

    Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts that light will bend around objects in space, so that they focus the light like a giant lens, with this effect being bigger for massive galaxies.

    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 ...
