AutoLens: automated modeling of a strong lens's light, mass and source

The intricate analysis of a strong gravitational lens is a complex and computationally demanding problem, requiring the lensed source galaxy's extended light profile to be reconstructed simultaneously with non-linear modeling of the lens galaxy's mass and light. When successful, this analy...
