Lensing By Compact Objects

Lensing By Compact Objects is a theoretical framework in gravitational lensing that specifically models the bending of light caused by the strong gravitational fields of dense, localized masses such as black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs, distinguishing it from lensing by extended or diffuse mass distributions.
