Measuring cosmological weak lensing using the Advanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope
(2008)
Following from the theory of General Relativity, light-bundles are deflected and differentially distorted while passing through the gravitational potential of matter inhomogeneities. The gravitational lensing effect caused ...
The non-Gaussian matter power spectrum covariance in the halo model approach
(2008)
Weak gravitational lensing is one of the most promising tools to analyze the nature of dark energy and dark matter. In order to constrain cosmological parameters with this method a good theoretical understanding of the ...
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 ...
Cosmological Parameters from Second- and Third-Order Cosmic Shear Statistics
(2006)
The weak gravitational lensing effect caused by the large-scale structure of the matter in the Universe (cosmic shear) is a powerful tool to study the matter distribution on very large scales. Cosmic shear surveys provide ...
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 ...
