Gravitational Lensing
Data Analysis
- Show an image of the strong gravitational lensing due to the
kg lens and the plot profile in ImageJ. - Correctly state your measurements of the kg point-mass lens as a function of the combined distance variable.
- 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. Compare the slope of the line to the value you would expect if the mass was independent of the position.
