Strong Lensing Science Collaboration (SLSC)
Among its many applications, strong lensing can be used to trace total mass distributions of galaxies, groups, and clusters; test detailed predictions of CDM on sub-galaxy scales; constrain cosmological parameters; study high-redshift transients and host galaxies; probe accretion disk structure with microlensing; and place constraints on stellar mass functions. The SLSC considers all aspects of strong lensing science and the best means of extracting it from LSST data.
