Angle of deflection: One ray. One Mass. In reality we have multiple masses… Vector superposition! “The total deflection angle is the vector superposition of the deflections due to all the mass elements of the lens. ” (Blandford et al. 825) Surface density must exceed critical mass density somewhere within the gravitational lens. For multiple images, the object must lie within the cusp.
