Gravitational lensing studies with the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT)

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) is being built in the north of Chile by an international consortium and will become operational in two years from now. We present here a short description of the telescope as well as estimates of the microlensing, macrolensing and weak lensing effects expected from a deep, multicolor imaging survey made with such a telescope.
