Analysis of the Current Status and Means of Studying Gravitational Lensing

Abstract

Lens in physics is a kind of mirror that deflects light and results in a deflated and distorted image of the light-emitting object. Hence, the phenomenon of a massive celestial object deflecting light to form a distorted, magnified image of a luminous object is well known as gravitational lensing. In this paper, a brief summary of the concept and the status quo of the research and methodology related to it is rendered. This study offers a review of the overall founding history of the concept, and presents the current advances in relevant research. Later, the principles of generation and construction modeling of the concept, basic methodology are demonstrated. Subsequently, the applications of gravitational lensing in dark matter research, celestial body relationship research and validation of research results will be illustrated with examples of recent research. Then, the potential discrepancies in the use of gravitational lensing and future prospects are discussed in short. These results intended to help scholars who lack an understanding of the concept to have a primer on the field of gravitational lensing.
