Luminosity profiles of galaxies acting as strong gravitational lenses can be tricky to study. Indeed, strong gravitational lensing images display several lensed components, both point-like and diffuse, around the lensing galaxy. Those…

The outer Galaxy presents an optimal setting for investigating molecular clouds and star formation in environments with low metallicity. A total of 72 Galactic edge clouds were surveyed using the CO\,(2--1) line with the IRAM\,30\,m…

Ridges in galaxy density fields measured by photometric surveys are 2D projections of filaments in the cosmic web, and so should lens light from background galaxies. We report on a detection of this effect in Dark Energy Survey Year 3 data…
