  •  
    This paper compares mass measurements from weak lensing and X-ray observations for a large sample of clusters, also providing a good discussion of the differences among various methods of measuring the cluster mass just with weak-lensing data.

Strong and Weak Lensing United. III. Measuring the Mass Distribution of the Merging Gal... - 0 views

  •  
    This paper describes further mass measurements of a particular merging cluster system, the "Bullet Cluster," showing how gravitational lensing can be used to measure the mass of a structure that is not in dynamical equilibrium, and without assuming that "mass follows light." Strong lensing information is combined in a joint analysis, improving the accuracy of the mass peak positions.

Cosmological constraints from the 100-deg2 weak-lensing survey: J. Benjamin, et al., Mo... - 0 views

  •  
    This paper presents results from a combination of 4 blank-field surveys to achieve a 100 square degree total area, and contains a good discussion on how errors in Point Spread Function correction and background galaxy selection can propagate through to the cosmic-shear measurement. (A)

Dark Energy Constraints from the CTIO Lensing Survey: M. Jarvis, B. Jain, G. Bernstein,... - 0 views

  •  
    This paper presents results from the first analysis of a data set large enough to place significant constraints on the equation of state of dark energy. It includes a good discussion of how the constraints are measured and how systematic errors in the data can affect the results. (A)

  •  
    This paper describes how to use shear detected mass peaks to measure the evolution of the power spectrum, and thereby cosmological parameters, in a method complementary to cosmic-shear analysis. (A)

Dark energy constraints from cosmic shear power spectra: impact of intrinsic alignments... - 0 views

  •  
    This paper discusses the impact on cosmological-parameter measurement from cosmic-shear surveys owing to the intrinsic alignments of galaxy shapes (prior to their being lensed). (A)

  •  
    This paper describes an attempt to detect clusters by mass in a blank-field survey, thereby avoiding selection bias when measuring the evolution of the mass function. (A)

  •  
    This paper describes measurements of cosmic shear from a 2 square degree Hubble Space Telescope survey, combined with photometric redshifts of the lensed galaxies. The addition of the photometric redshifts allowed the authors to measure the evolution of the mass power-spectrum, which provides additional information about the cosmological model beyond what the integrated power-spectrum can provide.

  •  
    This paper describes measurements of cosmic shear from a 2 square degree Hubble Space Telescope survey, combined with photometric redshifts of the lensed galaxies. The addition of photometric redshifts allowed the authors to produce a three dimensional reconstruction of the mass structures in the field. (A)

  •  
    The sources behind Zwicky's proposed lenses would be galaxies and their active nuclei, in the far distant universe; only in the last 30 years have such faint objects been detected in sufficient numbers to reveal the one in a thousand that are multiply-imaged. The first lensed quasar was confirmed in this paper. (A)

Nebulae as gravitational lenses: F. Zwicky, Phys. Rev. 51, 290-290 (1937) - 0 views

  •  
    The deflection of during an eclipse was the first observation of lensing in the universe, but there would not be another for 60 years. However, in the 1930s, Fritz Zwicky predicted that galaxies and clusters of galaxies would make good gravitational lenses as well, in this prescient paper. (A)

  •  
    This review contains an extremely in-depth discussion of the basics of weak gravitational lensing, with full mathematical derivations of all of the concepts known as of 2000. This review is an excellent starting point for a graduate student wanting to learn the details of weak lensing observations and theory. This review allows us to limit the number of introductory papers in the following sections and concentrate on papers giving more recent developments in the field (A).

    This paper uses a large Hubble Space Telescope survey to obtain galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements at higher redshifts than previously possible, and explores the evolution of dark halo properties. (A)

    This paper includes measurements of the ellipticity of dark-matter halos for different foreground galaxy properties. It includes a good discussion of potential systematic errors coming from intrinsic alignments of the background galaxies. (A)
