Gravitational Lensing

Data Analysis

  1. Show an image of the strong gravitational lensing due to the 1\times10^{24} kg lens and the plot profile in ImageJ.
  2. Correctly state your measurements of the 1\times10^{24} kg point-mass lens as a function of the combined distance variable.
  3. Show a plot of the calculated mass as function of the combined distance variables for the first point-mass lens.   Fit that dataset with a straight line. Is the slope of the line statistically different from zero?
