Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract A new model of gravitational lens – high-resolution gravitational lens based on the metric of gravitational field produced by N moving and rotating finite-sized bodies – is proposed. The model is applied to the case of a double galaxy gravitational lens. It is pointed out that previous searches for gravitational lensing in double systems focused on eclipsing binaries and were based on the analysis of their photometric variability. Unlike other authors, we determined the extra terms to be added to the refraction angle to account for the motion and rotation of the bodies. We show that the allowance for the motion of galaxies decreases the shifts of the images of the lensed object and that this effect is detectable in the current state of astronomical observations.
