Descripción
Gravity is the key engine for the evolution of the universe and the
formation of its main structures: galaxies, clusters of galaxies and
filaments. Gravity is also an invaluable tool for exploring the universe
through the relativistic effect of gravitational lensing. The
gravitational potentials of clusters of galaxies turn these bodies into
powerful cosmic telescopes which enhance the signal from high-redshift
galaxies. In this paper we present a project to study such galaxies with
the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the instrument OSIRIS. We
describe the gravitational lens effect, stressing the strong regime case
in clusters of galaxies. Then we show an application of the numerical
codes to study the cluster MS2137.3-2353. Finally, we discuss the use of
the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) to find candidates for lensed
galaxies at very high redshift.
