Recently, a non-trivial $4D$ Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) theory of gravity, by rescaling the GB coupling parameter as $\alpha/(D-4)$, was formulated in \cite{Glavan:2019inb}, which bypasses Lovelock's theorem and avoids Ostrogradsky…

In this work, we develop a general perturbative procedure to find the off-equatorial plane deflections in the weak deflection limit in general stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes, allowing the existence of the generalized Carter…

The Gibbons-Werner method for calculating deflection angles using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem and optical/Jacobi metric has become widely popular in recent years. Werner extended this method to stationary spacetimes, where the optical/Jacobi…

We discuss the phenomenology of gravitational lensing in the purely metric $f\left(\chi\right)$ gravity, an $f(R)$ gravity where the action of the gravitational field depends on the source mass. We focus on the strong lensing regime in…

We study gravitational lensing by quadrupole potentials within the linearized gravity approximation and the integration over the unperturbed photon trajectory. It is well known that the quadrupole potential contribution to the deviation…

We show that in the weak field limit the light deflection alone cannot distinguish between different $R + F[g(\square)R]$ models of gravity, where $F$ and $g$ are arbitrary functions. This does not imply, however, that in all these theories…

In this paper the deflection angle of light by a rotating Teo wormhole spacetime is calculated in the weak limit approximation. We mainly focus on the weak deflection angle by revealing the gravitational lensing as a partially global…

Gravitational lensing by a spinning deflector in translational motion relative to the observer is discussed in the weak field, slow motion approximation. The effect of rotation, which generates an intrinsic gravito-magnetic field, separates…

We discuss gravitational lensing in the Kehagias-Sfetsos space-time emerging in the framework of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity. In weak lensing we show that there are three regimes, depending on the value of $\bar {\lambda}=1/\omega d^{2}$,…
