متن کاملWeak Gravitational Lensing by Voids
We consider the prospects for detecting weak gravitational lensing by underdensities (voids) in the large-scale matter distribution. We derive the basic expressions for magnification and distortion by spherical voids. Clustering of the background sources and cosmic variance are the main factors which limit in principle the detection of lensing by voids. We conclude that only voids with radii la...
متن کاملWeak gravitational lensing
We review theory and applications of weak gravitational lensing. After summarising Friedmann}Lemam( tre cosmological models, we present the formalism of gravitational lensing and light propagation in arbitrary space}times. We discuss how weak-lensing e!ects can be measured. The formalism is then applied to reconstructions of galaxy-cluster mass distributions, gravitational lensing by large-scal...
متن کاملWeak gravitational lensing
— Luminous tracers have been used extensively to map the large-scale matter distribution in the Universe. Similarly the dynamics of stars or galaxies can be used to estimate masses of galaxies and clusters of galaxies. However, assumptions need to be made about the dynamical state or how well galaxies trace the underlying dark matter distribution. The gravitational tidal field affects the paths...
متن کاملWeak Gravitational Lensing Bispectrum
Weak gravitational lensing observations probe the spectrum and evolution of density fluctuations and the cosmological parameters which govern them. The non-linear evolution of large scale structure produces a non-Gaussian signal which is potentially observable in galaxy shear data. We study the threepoint statistics of the convergence, specifically the bispectrum, using the dark matter halo app...
