Characterizing the Shapes of Galaxy Clusters Using Moments of the Gravitational Lensing Shear
We explore the use of the tangential component of weak lensing shear to characterize the ellipticity of clusters of galaxies. We introduce an ellipticity estimator, and quantify its properties for isolated clusters from ΛCDM N-body simulations. We compare the N-body results to results from smooth analytic models. The expected distribution of the estimator for mock observations is presented, and...
متن کاملGravitational lensing of type Ia supernovae by galaxy clusters
We propose a method to remove the mass sheet degeneracy that arises when the mass of galaxy clusters is inferred from gravitational shear. The method utilizes high-redshift standard candles that undergo weak lensing. Natural candidates for such standard candles are type Ia supernovae (SN Ia). When corrected with the light-curve shape (LCS), the peak magnitude of SN Ia provides a standard candle...
متن کاملGravitational lensing of the CMB by galaxy clusters
We adapt a non-linear filter proposed by Hu (2001) for detecting lensing of the CMB by large-scale structures to recover surface-density profiles of galaxy clusters from their localised, weak gravitational lensing effect on CMB fields. Shifting the band-pass of the filter to smaller scales, and normalising it such as to reproduce the convergence rather than the deflection angle, we find that th...
متن کاملSystematics of haloarchaea and biotechnological potential of their hydrolytic enzymes.
Halophilic archaea, also referred to as haloarchaea, dominate hypersaline environments. To survive under such extreme conditions, haloarchaea and their enzymes have evolved to function optimally in environments with high salt concentrations and, sometimes, with extreme pH and temperatures. These features make haloarchaea attractive sources of a wide variety of biotechnological products, such as...
متن کاملSTRONG GRAVITATIONAL LENSING BLUEPRINTS FOR GALAXY CLUSTER CORE RECONSTRUCTION by PETER
When rays of light pass by a massive object they are very slightly de ected towards the centre of mass of the object If two or more diverging beams of light re converge onto an serendipitous observer this observer may see multiple magni ed images of the source of light This process is known as gravitational lensing and has been observed in several dozen spectacular cases Based on the appearance...
