$\texttt{LensFactory.jl}$: A general-purpose strong lens modeling package

Abstract: We present $\href{<a href="https://github.com/akmeena766/LensFactory.jl%7D%7B%5Ctexttt%7BLensFactory.jl%7D%7D$" rel="nofollow noopener">https://github.com/akmeena766/LensFactory.jl}{\texttt{LensFactory.jl}}$</a>, an efficient, open-source, general-purpose strong lens modeling package written in Julia. It supports single- and multi-plane lensing with a wide range of analytic lens profiles, and its modular design, built on Julia&#39;s multiple dispatch, makes it straightforward to add new profiles or inference methods, while native multi-threading parallelizes the computationally expensive steps, enabling full cluster-scale lens reconstructions within hours on a desktop-class machine. We validate the mass-reconstruction pipeline of $\href{https://github.com/akmeena766/LensFactory.jl}{\texttt{LensFactory.jl}}$ is accompanied by a set of worked examples covering all core functionality.
