Strong Lensing Reconstruction.
We present a general linear algorithm for measuring the surface mass density 1-kappa from the observable reduced shear g=gamma&solm0;&parl0;1-kappa&parr0; in the strong lensing regime. We show that in general, the observed polarization field can be decomposed into "electric" and "magnetic" components, which have independent and redundant solutions, but orthogonal noise properties. By combining ...
متن کاملCosmography with cluster strong lensing
By stacking an ensemble of strong lensing clusters, we demonstrate the feasibility of placing constraints on the dark energy equation of state. This is achieved by using multiple images of sources at two or more distinct redshift planes. The sample of smooth clusters in our simulations is based on observations of massive clusters and the distribution of background galaxies is constructed using ...
متن کاملStrong Lensing by Binary Galaxies
We study the problem of gravitational lensing by binary galaxies, idealized as two isothermal spheres. In a wide binary, each galaxy possesses individual tangential, nearly astroidal, caus-tics and roundish radial caustics. As the separation of the binary is made smaller, the caustics undergo a sequence of metamorphoses. The first metamorphosis occurs when the tangential caustics merge to form ...
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...
متن کاملNoise in Strong Lensing Cosmography
Giant arcs in strong lensing galaxy clusters can provide a purely geometric determination of cosmological parameters, such as the dark energy density and equation of state. We investigate sources of noise in cosmography with giant arcs, focusing in particular on errors induced by density fluctuations along the line-of-sight, and errors caused by modeling uncertainties. We estimate parameter err...
