Weak Gravitational Lensing [PDF]
Proceedings of Frontiers of Fundamental Physics 14 — PoS(FFP14), 2008 In this brief review I consider the advances made in weak gravitational lensing over the last 8 years, concentrating on the large scales - cosmic shear. I outline the theoretical developments, observational status, and the challenges which cosmic shear must overcome to realise its full potential. Finally I consider the prospects for probing Dark Energy

Image Simulations for Strong and Weak Gravitational Lensing [PDF]
Symmetry, 2020 Gravitational lensing has been identified as a powerful tool to address fundamental problems in astrophysics at different scales, ranging from exoplanet identification to dark energy and dark matter characterization in cosmology. Image simulations have played a fundamental role in the realization of the full potential of gravitational lensing by ...

Instrumental systematics and weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
Journal of Instrumentation, 2015 We present a pedagogical review of the weak gravitational lensing measurement process and its connection to major scientific questions such as dark matter and dark energy. Then we describe common ways of parametrizing systematic errors and understanding how they affect weak lensing measurements.

Weak gravitational lensing cross-correlations
, 2017 The matter content of the Universe is dominated by dark matter. Beyond its abundance and its lack of non-gravitational interactions with standard model matter, little is known about the nature of dark matter. This thesis attempts to illuminate different aspects of dark matter by using gravitational lensing in conjunction with other cosmological probes.

Gravitational Lensing: Strong, Weak and Micro [PDF]
, 2006 The theory, observations, and applications of gravitational lensing constitute one of the most rapidly growing branches of astrophysics. The gravitational deflection of light generated by mass concentrations along a light path produces magnification ...

Constraints on early dark energy from CMB lensing and weak lensing tomography [PDF]
, 2009 . We estimate the B-polarisation induced in the Cosmic Microwave Background by the non-linear evolution of density perturbations. Using the second-order Boltzmann code SONG, our analysis incorporates, for the first time, all physical effects at ...

Combined strong and weak gravitational lensing mass measurements in clusters of galaxies [PDF]
, 2022 Gravitational lensing in clusters of galaxies is one of the most powerful methods to probe the dark matter mass distribution inside such systems, after mapping the baryonic component, and test the currently accepted ΛCDM cosmological paradigm.

Weak gravitational lensing by stringy black holes [PDF]
The European Physical Journal Plus, 2019 In this paper, we discuss the weak gravitational lensing in the context of stringy black holes. Initially, we examine the deflection angle of photon by charged stringy black hole. For this desire, we compute the Gaussian optical curvature and implement the Gauss-Bonnet theorem to investigate the deflection angle for spherically balanced spacetime of ...

Light on dark matter with weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, 2010 This paper reviews statistical methods recently developed to reconstruct and analyze dark matter mass maps from weak lensing observations. The field of weak lensing is motivated by the observations made in the last decades showing that the visible matter represents only about 4-5% of the Universe, the rest being dark.
