Strong and Weak Lensing Constraints on Galaxy Mass Distribution | Jean-Paul Kneib
; | Date: |
5 Dec 2001 | Subject: | astro-ph | Affiliation: | OMP | Abstract: | 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 current observations. Finally, I will review the bright future prospects of galaxy lensing that will benefit of the development of high resolution, large, wide and deep (lensing) surveys. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0112123 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
