Weak Gravitational Lensing and Galaxy Bias
(2005)
Galaxies were formed from primordial baryonic matter within the gravitational potential of the dark matter. Today a confusing wealth of different galaxy populations is known. Explaining the emergence of this zoo of galaxy ...
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 ...
Dark matter halos of galaxies studied with weak gravitational lensing
(2003)
The main goal of this thesis is to investigate the dark matter halos of galaxies. Current theories of galaxy formation predict that galaxies are embedded in large dark matter halos with much larger extents than the visible ...
