Exotic objects such as the Ellis wormhole are expected to act as gravitational lenses. Much like their nonexotic counterparts, information about these lenses can be found by considering the strong and weak lensing fields they induce. In…

Wormholes are one of the most interesting topological features in spacetime, offering a rat run between two vastly separated regions of the universe. In this paper, we study the deflection angle of light by wormholes, which are supported by…

We study strong gravitational lensing by a class of static wormhole geometries. Analytical approaches to the same are developed, and the results differ substantially from strong lensing by black holes, first reported by Bozza. We consider…

Horizonless compact objects with light rings (or photon spheres) are becoming increasingly popular in recent years for several reasons. In this paper, we show that a horizonless object such as a wormhole of Morris-Thorne type can have two…

We investigate null trajectories, deflection angles, and gravitational lensing in the spacetime of generalized Ellis-Bronnikov (GEB) wormholes and their embedding in a five-dimensional warped braneworld background (WGEB). The GEB geometry…

For the last decade, the gravitational lensing in the strong gravitational field has been studied eagerly. It is well known that, for the lensing by a black hole, infinite number of Einstein rings are formed by the light rays which wind…

We discuss the peculiarities of gravitational lensing by spherically symmetric wormholes if they are not symmetric with respect to their throats. It is noticed, in particular, that wormholes always contain the so-called photon spheres, near…
