Chang–Refsdal lens
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (March 2024) |
A Chang–Refsdal lens is a point-mass gravitational lens (e.g. black hole) perturbed by constant external shear.[1]
The name derives from Kyongae Chang and Sjur Refsdal who in 1979 published a paper in NATURE 282, 561. "Flux Variations of QSO Q0957+561 A,B and image splitting by stars Near the Light Path." The paper illustrated that stars could affect quasar image brightness.
