GRAVLENS 1.07 Overview 1 GRAVLENS - Software for Gravitational Lensing by Chuck Keeton for the CASTLES project Software The code comes packaged in a Unix "gzipped tar" file called gravlens.tar.gz. To extract the files, give the commands:gzip -vd gravlens.tar.gztar -xvf gravlens.tarThe package contains two executables: gravlens: A code to perform many basic lensing calculations lensmodel: A code for modeling observed lens systems; contains all the capabilities of gravlens, plus commands to handle many common modeling situations Disclaimer: In general, I believe that the code works correctly. It has been used for several years by different people for different applications, and we have not uncovered any fundamental errors. Nevertheless, I make no guarantee of its accuracy. I encourage you to perform your own tests, and to watch out for results that do not make sense. 1 http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/~keeton/gravlens/ October 2006 Bogdan Popescu
