... PG 1115+080: A Gravitational Cloverleaf . ... Credit: CISCO , Subaru 8.3-m Telescope , NAOJ Explanation: All four blue images in the above photograph are the same object. The gravitational lens effect of the red, foreground, elliptical galaxy visible near image center creates a cloverleaf image of the single distant quasar . Light from the quasar is pulled around the massive galaxy in different paths, corresponding to different images. ... Publications with words: gravitational lens - quasar . ...

... Compact Binaries . ... Unlike the Sun, most stars in our Galaxy orbit another star: these systems are called binary stars. Generally it takes many years for the two stars to orbit around each other. ... These binaries are interesting for many reasons. One is that they are predicted to emit lots of gravitational waves. ... Over time as gravitational waves are emitted, the time taken for the two stars to orbit one another changes by a small but measurable amount. ...

... In one situation, we can use light from quasars to probe the material between us and them because that light may pass through one or more galaxies or gas clouds on its way to us. The gas inside the galaxies or the intergalactic clouds acts then as a filter, absorbing selected wavelengths from the quasar light. ... Light from a quasar must pass through clouds of gas and even faint galaxies -- each leaving its imprint on the light -- before we receive it here on Earth. ... Gravitational lensing . ...
