Abstract

The magnification effect provided by gravitational lensing overcomes the limitations of current observation instruments, allowing researchers to study faint objects at high redshift (z≈4). Over the last decades, the sample of strong lenses has been mostly confined to optical bands. With the advent of (sub)millimeter wide field extragalactic surveys, about 200 strong lenses have been discovered in (sub)millimeter bands. Observations with high resolution and sensitivity from ALMA, NOEMA, and SMA, coupled with the flux boost from strong lensing, provide new windows to study galaxies at high redshift. Many works have investigated topics such as star formation, interstellar medium, and dynamic properties. The main objective of this paper is to review the current research status of galaxy-galaxy lensing in (sub)millimeter bands from the perspectives of observation samples, modeling methods, and scientific applications.
