Weak lensing measurements of dark matter halos of galaxies from COMBO-17

M. Kleinheinrich, P. Schneider, H. -W. Rix +8

We present a measurement of mass estimates for dark matter halos around galaxies from the COMBO-17 survey using weak gravitational lensing. COMBO-17 is particularly useful for this…

The art and science of black hole mergers

Bernard F. Schutz

The merger of two black holes is one of the most extraordinary events in the natural world. Made of pure gravity, the holes combine to form a single hole, emitting a strong burst o…
