In the introduction of this review we briefly present the basics of lensing. Then it is shown that the two propagation effects, lensing and scintillation, have a number of properties in common. In the main part various lensing phenomena are discussed with emphasis on recent observations.}, language = {en} } @article{Wambsganss2001, author = {Wambsganß, Joachim}, title = {Microlensing of Quasars}, year = {2001}, abstract = {Microlens-induced variability in multiple quasars can be used to study two cosmological issues of great interest, the size and brightness profile of quasars on one hand, and the distribution of compact (dark) matter along the line of sight on the other.

In the central region the X-ray emission shows two pronounced X-ray minima, which are located opposite to each other with respect to the cluster centre. These depressions suggest an interaction between the central radio galaxy and the intra-cluster medium, which would be the first detection in such a distant cluster. The minima are symmetric relative to the cluster centre and very deep compared to similar features found in a few other nearby clusters. A spectral and morphological analysis of the overall cluster emission shows that RBS797 is a hot cluster (T=7.7+1.2-1.0 keV) with a total mass of Mtot(r500)= 6.5+1.6-1.2 *E14Msun.}, language = {en} } @article{PugaAlcaldeBarrenaetal.2001, author = {Puga, E. and Alcalde, D. and Barrena, R. and Mediavilla, E. and Motta, V. and Munoz, J.
