Light rays passing very close to a black hole may experience very strong deviations. Two geometries were separately considered in the recent literature: a source behind the black hole (standard gravitational lensing); a source in front of…

In this work, gravitational lensing in the weak and strong field limits is investigated for black hole spacetime within the framework of Hu-Sawicki $f(R)$ gravity. We employ the Ishihara et al. approach for weak lensing and adopt Bozza's…

We investigate retrolensing by two photon spheres in a novel black-bounce spacetime suggested by Lobo et al. which can correspond to a Schwarzschild black hole, a regular black hole, and a traversable wormhole including an Ellis-Bronnikov…

We propose the back reaction to the charged galactic wormhole spacetime based on Yoshiaki Sofue's exponential dark matter density profile to find exact solutions. The charges act as an additional component to the static wormhole, which is…

We investigate the strong gravitational lensing in a Kaluza-Klein black hole with squashed horizons. We find the size of the extra dimension imprints in the radius of the photon sphere, the deflection angle, the angular position and…

In this paper, we use the strong field limit approach to investigate the gravitational lensing properties of braneworld black holes. Applying this method to the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy, the lensing observables…

In this paper, using the recent method proposed by Ono, Ishihara and Asada (OIA) who extend the idea of Gibbons and Werner to the stationary and axisymmetric case, we apply the Gauss-Bonnet theorem to the optical metric of the non-rotating…

It has been shown that a noncommutative-geometry background may be able to support traversable wormholes. This paper discusses the possible detection of such wormholes in the outer regions of galactic halos by means of gravitational…

Dark matter structures within strong gravitational lens galaxies and along their line of sight leave a gravitational imprint on the multiple images of lensed sources. Strong gravitational lensing provides, therefore, a key test of different…

We consider wormhole geometries subject to a gravitational action consisting of non-linear powers of the Ricci scalar. Specifically, wormhole throats are studied in the case where Einstein gravity is supplemented with a Ricci-squared and…

Strong gravitational lenses provide unique laboratories for cosmological and astrophysical investigations, but they must first be discovered - a task that can be met with significant contamination by other astrophysical objects and…

In this work, we theoretically investigate strong gravitational lensing effects and evaluate various lensing observables of a static, spherically symmetric solution in the context of effective quantum gravity (EQG). Among the three types of…
