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 ...
Weak Lensing Flexion Study
(2010-09-01)
In this thesis, I studied the higher order weak gravitational lensing effect,flexion, and some of its potential applications in cosmology.
Flexion, as a new subject in lensing, has shown its advantages in various ...

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 ...
From galaxies to the cosmic web and back: the interplay of different scales in galaxy formation and cosmic reionization
(2020-10-08)
The evolution of the Universe is primarily governed by gravity, that triggers the development of a complex web-like distribution of galaxies. The latter are embedded in larger structures, called haloes, mainly composed by ...
Statistical properties of cosmological correlation functions
(2015-04-24)
Correlation functions are an omnipresent tool in astrophysics, and they are routinely used to study phenomena as diverse as the large-scale structure of the Universe, time-dependent pulsar signals, and the cosmic microwave ...
Halo bias renormalisation
(2020-06-09)
Modern galaxy redshift surveys provide a wealth of information about the evolution of our Universe. They allow to measure both the two-dimensional position on the sky and the distance (given by the cosmological redshift) ...
