Resources for lens modeling with Herculens

This repository centralizes useful resources related the strong lens modeling package Herculens.

Example notebooks

Here is the list of available example notebooks:

• Starting guide: Lens modeling with gradient descent, Fisher analysis and Hamiltonian sampling
• Full lens modeling with smooth profiles and pixelated wavelets
• Modeling a lensed spiral source with wavelets: complex arc modeling with a Sérsic profile + wavelets
• Detection of a dark satellite as a localized deviation to the smooth lens potential
• Bayesian wavelet modeling of a spiral galaxy with (Laplace) sparsifying priors
• Simple smooth light profile fitting
• Reconstruction of a lensed quasar and its complex host with wavelets
• Fast GPU-boosted lensed quasar simulations

New notebooks will be added soon! Moreover please do not hesitate to reach out for suggestions of new examples.
