Observational Studies of Gravitational Lenses

该奖项支持在光学和无线电波长上对引力透镜的持续研究。主要研究者是世界上这些天体的主要研究者之一。除了对单个物体的研究之外，一项大型调查的完成将为引力透镜提供更多的新例子，这可能被用于研究宇宙学和宇宙质量分布的重要问题。

This award supports continuing investigations, at both optical and radio wavelength, of gravitational lenses. The principle investigator is one of the worlds leading investigators of these objects. In addition to the study of individual objects, the completion of a large survey will provide further new examples of gravitational lenses, which may be used to investigate important questions of cosmology and the distribution of mass in the universe.
