Gravitational Lenses

Scientific paper

Astrophysical phenomena like Gravitational Lenses can be easily visualized with Java. Gravitational Lensing is an effect produced by deflection of light rays passing by stars, galaxies or cluster of galaxies. It could play an important role in cosmology, because it is possible to estimate the age of the Universe. JLenses is the Java version of XFGLenses, a program intended for visualizing and modelling Gravitational Lenses. Among the applications of the programs are animations, time delay contour lines, caustic visualizations, and modelling. The OpenGL library for Java is needed to run it. JLenses runs on all computer systems (XFGLense runs only under Unix and Linux). There is a Website to download them.
