Weak gravitational lensing analyses of clusters of galaxies
(2011-04-04)
Comprising the most massive gravitationally bound and relaxed structures in the Universe, galaxy clusters are essential in providing a deeper understanding of the properties of dark matter. Being cosmologically young ...
Cosmic Shear and the Intrinsic Alignment of Galaxies
(2010-11-12)
Cosmology has recently entered an era of increasingly rich observational data sets, all being in agreement with a cosmological standard model that features only a small number of free parameters. One of the most powerful ...
Exploring Dark Matter Properties from the Smallest to the Largest Scales
(2004)
One of the main problems in cosmology is to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and large-scale structure. Whereas the basics of the current Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm for structure ...
Weak lensing magnification & baryon acoustic oscillations in galaxy-galaxy lensing
(2021-09-08)
Cosmology is the science that aims to explain the Universe in its entirety. While the standard cosmological model has had tremendous success in explaining independent astrophysical observations, we still lack understanding ...
