Abstract

We reexamine the sensitivity of the optical depth for gravitational lensing of distant quasars to the role of finite galaxy core radii (including uncertainties), and the nature of the cosmological model used to calculate the redshift-distance relation, in order to examine limits on a possible nonzero cosmological constant. Particular attention is paid to how these factors affect differential and integrated optical depths in a flat universe
