Gravitational lens modeling with iterative source deconvolution and global optimization of lens density parameters

Strong gravitational lensing produces multiple distorted images of a background source when it is closely aligned with a mass distribution along the line of sight. The lensed images provide constraints on the parameters of a model of the lens, and the images themselves can be inverted providing a mo...
