A new pre-print paper by Dr. Slava Turyshev highlights an often overlooked feature of the Solar Gravitational Lens (SGL), emphasizing its usefulness for imaging beyond distant exoplanets. The productivity of Dr. Turyshev in publishing academic articles reflects the numerous positive aspects and challenges of this groundbreaking mission.

It feels like every few months we get to report on another academic paper coming out singing the praises of the Solar Gravitational SGL (SGL). Partly, this is due to Dr. Slava Turyshev’s astounding productivity in terms of pumping out academic articles, but partly because such a ground-breaking mission has lots of positive aspects, but also challenges that need to be addressed. A new paper, available in pre-print on arXiv from Dr. Turyshev, stresses an often overlooked feature of the SGL – how useful it can be at imaging things other than far away exoplanets.
