Dark Matter Halo Detection in Weak Lensing Regimes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although current methods exist to predict the location of these centers given comprehensive amounts of data such as three-dimensional position, mass, etc., there are not many approaches to finding the centers given two-dimensional images of a sky. However, for many regions of space, the only data collected are two-dimensional images, and thus the dark matter structures in those regions of space are as of yet unknown.

Galaxy 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...
متن کاملThe Detection of the Gravitational Lens- Ing of Supernovae
The weak gravitational lensing of high redshift type Ia supernovae has the potential of probing the structure of matter on galaxy halo scales. This is complementary to the weak lensing of galaxies which probes structure of larger scales. There are already several organized searches for these supernovae being carried out for the purposes of cosmological parameter estimation. A method is proposed...
متن کاملProperties of Galaxy Dark Matter Halos from Weak Lensing
We present the results of a study of weak lensing by galaxies based on 45.5 deg of RC band imaging data from the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS). We define a sample of lenses with 19.5 < RC < 21, and a sample of background galaxies with 21.5 < R < 24. We study the average mass profile around the lenses, using a maximum likelihood analysis. We consider two models for the halo mass profile: a t...
متن کاملIntrinsic Correlation of Galaxy Shapes: Implications for Weak Lensing Measurements
Weak gravitational lensing is now established as a powerful method to measure mass fluctuations in the universe. It relies on the measurement of small coherent distortions of the images of background galaxies. Even low-level correlations in the intrinsic shapes of galaxies could however produce a significant spurious lensing signal. These correlations are also interesting in their own right, si...
متن کاملBaryons and weak lensing power spectra
We provide a simple toy model to elucidate the effects of baryonic cooling on predictions of the convergence power spectrum in weak gravitational lensing. Our model suggests that the effects of baryonic cooling on dark matter halo profiles can alter the dark matter power spectrum at k ∼ 10hMpc and lead to percent level changes in the convergence angular power spectrum at wavenumbers of several ...
