Chapter 1: Strong Lensing#
In chapter 1, we introduce you to strong gravitational lensing and the core PyAutoLens API.
Binder links to every tutorial are included.
The chapter contains the following tutorials:
Tutorial 0: Visualization - Setting up PyAutoLens’s visualization library.
Tutorial 1: Grids - Uniform grids of (y,x) coordinates used for ray-tracing.
Tutorial 2: Profiles - Analytic profiles representing light and mass distributions.
Tutorial 3: galaxies - Making galaxy objects out of light and mass profile.
Tutorial 4: Ray Tracing - Using Grids and galaxies to perform strong lens ray-tracing!
Tutorial 5: More Ray Tracing - Advanced strong lens ray-tracing.
Tutorial 8: Summary - A summary of the chapter.
