Abstract

We introduce a formalism to describe 2D-Potentials for 2D-matter (or charge) distributions with arbitrary elliptical symmetry including varying eccentricity and twisting of the iso-density curves. We use this approach to describe elliptical matter distributions such as elliptical galaxies or clusters as gravitational lenses. Figures are available upon request: [email protected]
