As part of its Cosmology Group, MPA hosts a group of people working actively on Gravitational Lensing. Its main areas of research are:
Cosmological weak lensing: weak shear and magnification
Strong lensing by galaxy clusters: arc statistics and cosmological implications
Weak lensing by galaxy clusters: galaxy density profiles
Lensing by spiral galaxies: image statistics and morphologies
