Description
Gravitational lensing is a powerful astrophysical and cosmological probe
and is particularly valuable at submillimeter wavelengths for the study
of the statistical and individual properties of dusty star-forming
galaxies. However, the identification of gravitational lenses is often
time-intensive, involving the sifting of large volumes of imaging or
spectroscopic data to find few candidates. We used early data from the
Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey to demonstrate that
wide-area submillimeter surveys can simply and easily detect strong
gravitational lensing events, with close to 100% efficiency.
