Douglas Clowe on 03 Jun 12

This paper discusses the impact on cosmological-parameter measurement from cosmic-shear surveys owing to a variety of systematic errors. Of particular importance are the intrinsic alignments of galaxy shapes (prior to their being lensed) and the accuracy with which the lensed-galaxies redshifts can be estimated from their colors alone. (A)

This paper studies the change in number density of quasars with distance from bright galaxies and models the results as a gravitational lensing signal from the bright galaxies. It includes a discussion of the potential systematic errors in the measurements and why previous attempts at making this measurement were limited by the systematic errors. (A)

Gravitational lensing on the cluster scale is readily observed in almost all of the most massive systems, provided the image resolution and depth are high enough. "Blind" imaging surveys have also been carried out, most notably using SDSS data. Describes the candidate selection and confirmation of 16 new cluster-scale lenses. (A)
