Weak gravitational lensing by voids [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1999 We consider the prospects for detecting weak gravitational lensing by underdensities (voids) in the large-scale matter distribution. We derive the basic expressions for magnification and distortion by spherical voids. Clustering of the background sources and cosmic variance are the main factors which limit in principle the detection of lensing by voids.

Baryons, neutrinos, feedback and weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2015 (Abridged) The effect of baryonic feedback on the dark matter mass distribution is generally considered to be a nuisance to weak gravitational lensing. Measurements of cosmological parameters are affected as feedback alters the cosmic shear signal on angular scales smaller than a few arcminutes.

Weak Gravitational Lensing and Its Cosmological Applications [PDF]
Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, 2008 Weak gravitational lensing is a unique probe of the dark side of the universe: It provides a direct way to map the distribution of dark matter around galaxies and clusters of galaxies as well as on cosmological scales. Furthermore, the measurement of the weak lensing–induced distortions of the shapes of distant galaxies is a potentially powerful probe

Current status of weak gravitational lensing
New Astronomy Reviews, 2002 Weak gravitational lensing of distant galaxies by foreground structures has proven to be a powerful tool to study the mass distribution in the universe. Nowadays, attention has shifted from clusters of galaxies to the statistical properties of the large scale structures and the halos of (field) galaxies. These applications have become feasible with the

Weak gravitational lensing of the CMB [PDF]
Physics Reports, 2006 Weak gravitational lensing has several important effects on the cosmic microwave background (CMB): it changes the CMB power spectra, induces non-Gaussianities, and generates a B-mode polarization signal that is an important source of confusion for the signal from primordial gravitational waves.

Weak Gravitational Lensing of Finite Beams [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2017 The standard theory of weak gravitational lensing relies on the infinitesimal light beam approximation. In this context, images are distorted by convergence and shear, the respective sources of which unphysically depend on the resolution of the distribution of matter---the so-called Ricci-Weyl problem.

Weak gravitational lensing by dark clusters [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 We calculate the abundance of dark-matter concentrations that are sufficiently overdense to produce a detectable weak-gravitational-lensing signal. Most of these overdensities are virialized halos containing identifiable X-ray and/or optical clusters. However, a significant fraction are nonvirialized overdensities still in the process of gravitational ...

Nulling tomography with weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2005 We explore several strategies of eliminating (or nulling) the small-scale information in weak lensing convergence power spectrum measurements in order to protect against undesirable effects, for example the effects of baryonic cooling and pressure forces on the distribution of large-scale structures. We selectively throw out the small-scale information

, 2020 In this presentation I review cosmological measurements with weak gravitational lensing using the cosmic shear technique. An intriguing tension in the parameter S8=sigma8*sqrt(Omega_m/0.3) between low-z large-scale-structure probes and the Planck primary CMB probes has been observed. This is reminiscent of the well-known H0 tension, albeit currently at
