文摘Because gamma-ray bursts （GRBs） trace the high-z universe, there is an appreciable probability for a GRB to be gravitational lensed by galaxies in the universe. Herein we consider the gravitational lensing effect of GRBs contributed by the dark matter halos in galaxies. Assuming that all halos have the singular isothermal sphere （SIS） mass profile in the mass range 101~h 1Mo 〈 M 〈 2×10^13h^-1M and all GRB samples follow the intrinsic redshift distribution and luminosity function derived from the Swift LGRBs sample, we calculated the gravitational lensing probability in BATSE, Swift/BAT and Fermi/GBM GRBs, re- spectively.

We discuss our result and future obser- vations for GRB lensing observation.
