Abstract

Among the various manifestations of gravitational lensing, we emphasize the interest of gravitational mirages (defined as situations where several images of a single source are produced).

We first recall the principle of this phenomenon and the conditions for its occurence. Then, we discuss a few possible uses of gravitational mirages, particularly in cosmology.

Finally, we review the present results on the 5 known cases and speculate on the observational developments expected in the near future.
