  2. Gravitational lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens

    In 1963 Yu. G. Klimov, S. Liebes, and Sjur Refsdal recognized independently that quasars are an ideal light source for the gravitational lens effect. [23] It was not until 1979 that the first gravitational lens would be discovered. It became known as the "Twin QSO" since it initially looked like two identical quasistellar objects.

  3. Gravimetric analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravimetric_analysis

    Gravimetric analysis describes a set of methods used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of an analyte (the ion being analyzed) based on its mass. The principle of this type of analysis is that once an ion's mass has been determined as a unique compound, that known measurement can then be used to determine the same analyte's mass in a mixture, as long as the relative ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lensing...

    While gravitational lensing preserves surface brightness, as dictated by Liouville's theorem, lensing does change the apparent solid angle of a source. The amount of magnification is given by the ratio of the image area to the source area. For a circularly symmetric lens, the magnification factor μ is given by

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APM_08279+5255

    Gravitational lensed systems with odd numbers of images are extremely rare; most contain two or four. [7] Initially the magnification due to gravitational lensing was thought to be large, in the range of 40 to 90 times. [5] [6] After detailed observations at many wavelengths, the best model of the lensing galaxy is a tilted spiral galaxy. This ...

    In particular, gravitational lensing provides one way to measure the distribution of dark matter, which does not give off light and can be observed only by its gravitational effects. One particularly interesting application are large-scale observations, where the lensing masses are spread out over a significant fraction of the observable ...

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

  9. Headspace gas chromatography for dissolved gas measurement

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headspace_Gas...

    A known volume of headspace gas is then injected onto a gas chromatographic column. An automated process can also be utilized. An automated process can also be utilized. Individual components (gases) are separated and detected by either a thermal conductivity detector (TCD), a flame ionization detector (FID), or an electron capture detector (ECD).
