    A good qualitative summary of the methodology and results of weak lensing circa 2007, and is a good resource for a student wanting to learn about what weak lensing can tell us about cosmology without having to understand all of the math behind the models (I, A).

    This paper investigates an error that pervades mass measurements with weak lensing, namely the assumption of a spherical mass model when fitting a non-spherical system. It gives theoretical expectations of the effect from N-body simulations and analytic tri-axial mass models. (A)

    This paper describes 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." (In this case, it does not!) It also demonstrates how noise in the weak-lensing data can affect the centers of the inferred two-dimensional mass distributions.

    This paper investigates an error that pervades mass measurements with weak lensing, namely the assumption of a spherical mass model when fitting a non-spherical system. It explores whether the departure from the expected concentrations of certain clusters is a result of this effect. (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)
