Abstract

This paper is devoted to study gravitational lensing of static spherically symmetric non-commutative wormholes in galactic halo region. We formulate the field equations with anisotropic matter using particlelike source of gravitation in the form of Lorentzian distribution. We explore energy conditions and equilibrium condition of the wormhole model using generalized Tolman-Oppenheimmer-Volkov equation. To investigate position of wormhole, we evaluate angle of deflection in the strong field limit through numerical approach. It is found that the angle of deflection diverges for the photon radius.
