Herculens swMATH ID: 43415 Software Authors: Peel, Austin; Galan, Aymeric; Vernardos, Giorgos Description: Herculens: Differentiable gravitational lensing. Herculens models current and future observations of strong gravitational lenses. It is based on the automatic differentiation and compilation features of JAX (ascl:2111.002), which enables faster convergence to the solution, more efficient exploration of the parameter space including the sampling of posterior distributions, and new ways to mitigate degeneracies that affect gravitational lensing. Herculens supports various degrees of model complexity, ranging from standard smooth analytical profiles to pixelated models combined with machine learning approaches. It also supports several of the most widely-used analytical profiles as well as multi-scale pixelated models regularized with wavelets.
