DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz3615
Abstract: We provide new very simple and compact expressions for the efficient calculation of gravitational lens optical scalars for Kerr space–time, which are exact along any null geodesic. These new results are obtained recurring to well-known… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.102.064060
Abstract: We discuss, without assuming asymptotic flatness, a gravitational lens for an observer and source that are within a finite distance from a lens object. The proposed lens equation is consistent with the deflection angle of… read more here.
