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.

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 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.

, 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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Optimizing tomography for weak gravitational lensing surveys [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT The subject of this paper is optimization of weak lensing tomography: we carry out numerical minimization of a measure of total statistical error as a function of the redshifts of the tomographic bin edges by means of a Nelder–Mead algorithm in order to optimize the sensitivity of weak lensing with respect to different ...
