Astronomy: Wide-angle lens
Joachim Wambsganss1
Abstract
Gravitational lenses produce multiple images of single astronomical objects. The most widely separated images of a quasar ever found reveal the dark-matter content of the lensing galaxies.
Record-breaking is usually gently incremental, each record a slight improvement on the last. It's rare that a new record more than doubles the old record-holding value, particularly one that had stood for more than two decades.
- Joachim Wambsganss is at the Physics Institute, University of Potsdam, Am Neuen Palais 10, 14469 Potsdam, Germany.
