Weak 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...
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 with Ska
I shall outline the basic principles and some observational aspects of weak gravitational lensing, and discuss several applications of this powerful tool in observational cosmology. It will be explained why the applications have been restricted to optical observations up to now, and why SKA is going to change this. I conclude with a few general remarks on a comparison between SKA and the NGST, ...
متن کاملSimulations of Weak Gravitational Lensing
We describe the simulation data produced by a pilot programme to compute mock weak gravitational lensing maps for a range of currently popular cosmological models by ray tracing through high-resolution N-body simulations. The programme required only a modest investment in computer time to produce maps accurate to arcminute scales covering hundreds of square degrees of sky for 4 cosmological mod...
