Multi-messenger Gravitational Lensing and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory

Explore a scientific talk that delves into the discovery potential of gravitationally lensed binary compact object mergers, with particular focus on the contributions from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Learn about the current commissioning observations at Rubin Observatory, its role in discovering gravitational lenses throughout the observable universe, and the recently approved target of opportunity program for rapid follow-up of candidate lensed gravitational wave sources. Gain insights into current challenges in the field and potential solutions for the coming years through this 37-minute presentation delivered at the Workshop on "Lensing and Wave Optics in Strong Gravity" at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics.
