This is an attempt to have the NFW_ELLIPSE_CSE profile normalized for elliptical profiles. Currently this profile was introduced in the semi-major axis and the rescaling did not lead to results...

@johannesulf I implemented nautilus in lenstronomy on the first versions on pypi. When you released the second version it started failing and I was wondering what I would need to...

definitions used were r200 rather than r_vir thus naming conventions changed. Perhaps also move file and make it not cosmology dependent

This PR is related to issue #184 and PR #185 . It adds the feature of pre-specified image position proxies to guarantee the time delay differences are evaluated in the...

pySwarms https://github.com/ljvmiranda921/pyswarms has additional features relative to the implemented PSO. The draw-back is that pySwarms only supports MPI/multiprocessing pools from `multiprocessing` and not custom pool instances that allow for `dill`...

The current implementation of the MPI version of the PSO (from PR #160 ) may be improved such that the likelihood module instances do only need to be pickled/dill'ed once...

currently, the PUBLICATIONS.rst file is aimed at maintaining a list of publications making use of lenstronomy. This is time-consuming to maintain and might also not be up to date, or...

The current convention for the point source amplitudes are 'point_amp' for amplitudes in the image plane and 'source_amp' for amplitudes in the source plane. This lead to confusions about in...
