“…17. The quadruply imaged quasar RX J0911+0551 [7] at z = 2.8 and the intervening cluster at z = 0.77 [58] which significantly modifies the overall gravitational potential responsible for the lensing effect. The field of view is 3.5 ′ × 3.5 ′ .…”

“…Moreover the Einstein rings of thes microlenses have a larger angular diameter, making it more likely that they are larger than the source. The quasar is therefore expected to show frequent and rapid variations, the mean time separating each microlensing event being approximately the time required for the microlenses to run across a distance equal to the diameter of their Einstein ring (see equation 7). Note however that time scales involved can be significantly different from those calculated with this naive approach.…”

Massive structures, such as galaxies, act as strong gravitational lenses on background sources. When the background source is a quasar, several lensed images are seen, as magnified or de-magnified versions of the same object. The detailed study of the image configuration and the measurement of "time-delays" between the images yield estimates of the Hubble parameter H0. We describe in a simple way the phenomenon of strong lensing and review recent progress made in the field, including microlensing by stars in the main lensing galaxy.

Ambiguity is one of the most important aspects of natural language, but one of the most difficult to define and distinguish from related (and unrelated) phenomena. In this chapter, ambiguity is first differentiated from other sources of indeterminacy, such as unspecificity, and other sources of indefiniteness, such as vagueness. Different types of ambiguity – in particular homonymy and polysemy – are then discussed, starting with data about lexical ambiguity, and characterized using both linguistic and cognitive evidence; but it is emphasized that the distinction is not always obvious. Several non‐lexical types of ambiguity are then discussed, including referential, scopal, and collective/distributive/cumulative ambiguity. The preliminary definition of ambiguity is then supplemented in order to account for these distinctions, arguing for an approach in which the distinction between the types of ambiguity is based in part on pragmatic considerations. Finally, the extent to which speakers and listeners adhere to Grice's “Avoid Ambiguity” maxim is questioned, on the basis of evidence about deliberate ambiguity and “good enough” interpretations.
