Gravitational Lensing Constraints on Dynamical and Coupled Dark Energy
نویسنده
چکیده
Upcoming Weak Lensing (WL) surveys can be used to constrain Dark Energy (DE) properties, namely if tomographic techniques are used to improve their sensitivity. In this work, we use a Fisher matrix technique to compare the power of CMB anisotropy and polarization data with tomographic WL data, in constraining DE parameters. Adding WL data to available CMB data improves the detection of all cosmological parameters, but the impact is really strong when DE–DM coupling is considered, as WL tomography can then succeed to reduce the errors on some parameters by factors > 10 .

Determining the Properties of Galaxy 2237+0305 Using Gravitational Lensing
We have studied the mass distribution in the lensing galaxy 2237+0305 using constraints from both gravitational lensing and photometric and spectroscopic observations. We find that with sufficient dynamical information we can constrain the mass-to-light ratio of the luminous components and determine the dynamical contribution of the disk. In addition, future observations should allow us to plac...
متن کاملCluster Strong Lensing Constraints on Dark Energy
Cluster strong lensing can be used to obtain constraints on cosmological parameters, in particular as we show here, the dark energy equation of state. This is achieved by using multiple images of sources at two or more distinct redshift planes. Utilizing many families of multiply imaged sources we obtain purely geometric constraints on dark energy that are largely independent of the properties ...
متن کاملConstraints on Scalar-Field Dark Energy from the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey Gravitational Lens Statistics
We use the statistics of strong gravitational lensing based on the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) data to constrain cosmological parameters in a spatially-flat, inverse power-law potential energy density, scalar-field dark energy cosmological model. The lensing-based constraints are consistent with, but weaker than, those derived from Type Ia supernova redshift-magnitude data, and mildly fa...
متن کاملEmpirical constraints on alternative gravity theories from gravitational lensing
If it is hypothesised that there is no dark matter then some alternative gravitational theory must take the place of general relativity (GR) on the largest scales. Dynamical measurements can be used to investigate the nature of such a theory, but only where there is visible matter. Gravitational lensing is potentially a more powerful probe as it can be used to measure deflections far from the d...
متن کاملGalilean-invariant scalar fields can strengthen gravitational lensing.
The mystery of dark energy suggests that there is new gravitational physics on long length scales. Yet light degrees of freedom in gravity are strictly limited by Solar System observations. We can resolve this apparent contradiction by adding a Galilean-invariant scalar field to gravity. Called Galileons, these scalars have strong self-interactions near overdensities, like the Solar System, tha...
