The Effect of Weak Gravitational Lensing on the Angular Distribution of Gamma-ray Bursts
If Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are cosmologically distributed standard candles and are associated with the luminous galaxies, then the observed angular distribution of all GRBs is altered due to weak gravitational lensing of bursts by foreground density inhomogeneities. The amplitude of the eeect is generally small. For example, if the current catalogs extend to z max 1 and we live in a at = 1 Univ...

If Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are cosmologically distributed standard candles and are associated with the luminous galaxies, then the observed angular distribution of all GRBs is altered due to weak gravitational lensing of bursts by density inhomogeneities. The amplitude of the effect is generally small. For example, if the current catalogs extend to zmax ∼ 1 and we live in a flat Ω = 1 Universe,...
متن کاملThe Statistics of Weak Lensing at Small Angular Scales: Probability Distribution Function
Weak gravitational lensing surveys have the potential to directly probe mass density fluctuation in the universe. Recent studies have shown that it is possible to model the statistics of the convergence field at small angular scales by modeling the statistics of the underlying density field in the highly nonlinear regime. We propose a new method to model the complete probability distribution fu...
متن کاملDo angular momentum induced ellipticity correlations contaminate weak lensing measurements?
Alignments in the angular momentum vectors of galaxies can induce large scale correlations in their projected orientations. Such alignments arise from the tidal torques exerted on neighboring proto-galaxies by the smoothly varying shear field. Weak gravitational lensing can also induce ellipticity correlations since the images of neighboring galaxies will be distorted coherently by the interven...
متن کاملStrong and Weak Lensing Constraints on Galaxy Mass Distribution
Gravitational Lensing is a unique tool to constrain the mass distribution of collapsed structures, this is particularly true for galaxies, either on a case by case basis using multiple images of background sources (such as quasars), or statistically using the so called galaxy-galaxy lensing technique. First, I will present the lensing theory, and then discuss the various methods applied to curr...
