The dark matter of gravitational lensing

R Massey, T Kitching, J Richard - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We review progress in understanding dark matter by astrophysics, and particularly via the
effect of gravitational lensing. Evidences from many different directions now all imply that five …

Cluster–galaxy weak lensing

K Umetsu - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2020 - Springer
Weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies provides a direct probe of the projected
matter distribution in and around galaxy clusters. Here, we present a self-contained …

A Bayesian approach to strong lensing modelling of galaxy clusters
