New Gravitational Lenses for Dark Matter Research

Using data collected by the Hubble Space Telescope(HST),Dr.SHU Yiping and Prof.MAO Shude from the National Astronomical Observatories of China,Chinese Academy of Sciences(NAOC) and their collaborators have recently discovered a sample of 17 new strong gravitational lens systems,which is of unique significance to the study of the nature of dark matter and high-redshift Lyα emitters.
