Strong and weak lensing united I: the combined strong and weak lensing cluster mass reconstruction method
Weak gravitational lensing is considered to be one of the most powerful tools to study the mass and the mass distribution of galaxy clusters. However, the mass-sheet degeneracy transformation has limited its success. We present a novel method for a cluster mass reconstruction which combines weak and strong lensing information on common scales and can, as a consequence, break the mass-sheet dege...
متن کاملCluster Mass Profiles from Weak Lensing II
When a cluster gravitationally lenses faint background galaxies, its tidal gravitational field distorts their shapes (shear effect) and its magnification effect changes the observed number density. In Schneider, King & Erben (2000) we developed likelihood techniques to compare the constraints on cluster mass profiles that can be obtained using the shear and magnification information. This work ...
متن کاملWeak Lensing Constraints on Galaxy Halos
Weak gravitational lensing has become an important tool to study the properties of dark matter halos around galaxies, thanks to the advent of large panoramic cameras on 4m class telescopes. This area of research has been developing rapidly in the past few years, and in these proceedings we present some results based on the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey, thus highlighting what can be achieved with...
متن کاملNonsingular density profiles of dark matter halos and Strong gravitational lensing
We use the statistics of strong gravitational lenses to investigate whether mass profiles with a flat density core are supported. The probability for lensing by halos modeled by a nonsingular truncated isothermal sphere (NTIS) with image separations greater than a certain value (ranging from 0 to 10) is calculated. NTIS is an analytical model for the postcollapse equilibrium structure of virial...
متن کاملWeak Lensing from Strong Clustering
We investigate the effect of weak gravitational lensing in the limit of small angular scales where projected galaxy clustering is strongly nonlinear. This is the regime likely to be probed by future weak lensing surveys. We use well-motivated hierarchical scaling arguments and the plane-parallel approximation to study multi-point statistical properties of the convergence field. These statistics...
