Simulations of weak gravitational lensing
arXiv:astro-ph/0312133 · doi:10.1016/j.astropartphys.2004.05.002
Abstract
We describe the simulation data produced by a pilot programme to compute mock weak gravitational lensing maps for a range of currently popular cosmological models by ray tracing through high-resolution N-body simulations. The programme required only a modest investment in computer time to produce maps accurate to arcminute scales covering hundreds of square degrees of sky for 4 cosmological models.
