The Effects of Multiple Weak Deflections in Galaxy–Galaxy Lensing
The Hubble Deep Field (North) and the flanking fields are used investigate the occurrence of multiple weak lensing deflections along the line of sight in relatively deep imaging data (zlens ∼ 0.6, zsource ∼ 1.2). Ray tracing simulations of galaxy–galaxy lensing in the HDF-North show that proper inclusion of multiple weak deflections is important for a correct prediction of the net shear for mos...
متن کاملGalaxy-galaxy Flexion: Weak Lensing to Second Order
In this paper, we develop a new gravitational lensing inversion technique. While traditional approaches assume that the lensing field varies little across a galaxy image, we note that this variation in the field can give rise to a “Flexion” or bending of a galaxy image, which may then be used to detect a lensing signal with increased signal to noise. Since the significance of the Flexion signal...
متن کاملWeak Lensing of Galaxy Clusters in MOND
We study weak gravitational lensing of galaxy clusters in terms of the MOND (MOdified Newtonian Dynamics) theory. We calculate shears and convergences of background galaxies for three clusters (A1689, CL0024+1654, CL1358+6245) and the mean profile of 42 SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) clusters and compare them with observational data. The mass profile is modeled as a sum of X-ray gas, galaxies ...
متن کاملPhysical component analysis of galaxy cluster weak gravitational lensing data
We present a novel approach for reconstructing the projected mass distribution of clusters of galaxies from sparse and noisy weak gravitational lensing shear data. The reconstructions are regularised using knowledge gained from numerical simulations of clusters: trial mass distributions are constructed from n physically-motivated components, each of which has the universal density profile and c...
متن کاملGalaxy Halo Masses from Weak Gravitational Lensing
In this review, I discuss the use of galaxy-galaxy weak lensing measurements to study the masses of dark matter halos in which galaxies reside. After summarizing how weak gravitational lensing measurements can be interpreted in terms of halo mass, I review measurements that were used to derive the relationship between optical galaxy mass tracers, such as stellar mass or luminosity, and dark mat...
